"Unbelievable," Daniel hissed, crumpling the eviction notice in his fist. He slammed it against the wall, the paper balling uselessly on the worn wallpaper. His shoulders were rigid, his jaw clenched so tightly that his teeth ached. He kicked at a stray box in the corner, sending its contents scattering across the floor. He felt a sudden, intense heat flush through his face, the blood pounding in his ears. His hands trembled as he raked them through his hair, the gesture more violent than intended. He needed to get out, he needed space.

Role in Research

This story is one of 1,000 stories generated for the emotion stressed. 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 stressed stories, after denoising with neutral dialogue baselines, produces the stressed emotion vector -- a direction in the model's 5,376-dimensional representation space.
