The ornate fireplace, usually a source of warmth and comfort, seemed to radiate a cold energy. Sarah found herself staring at it, transfixed, her mind racing. The police report detailed the final moments, the struggle, the silence. Her vision felt sharp, the colours of the room vibrant. Her hands itched.

Without thinking, she started rearranging the furniture. The sofa, the chairs, the coffee table - everything was moved. She felt a surge of power, a need to transform the space, to rewrite the narrative. When she was done, she paced the room, a thrill coursing through her.

The house felt like a blank canvas.

Role in Research

This story is one of 1,000 stories generated for the emotion stimulated. During extraction, it was fed through Gemma4-31B and its hidden state activations were captured at 11 layers.

The mean activation across all 1,000 stimulated stories, after denoising with neutral dialogue baselines, produces the stimulated emotion vector -- a direction in the model's 5,376-dimensional representation space.
