stuck - Story 142187 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The sterile scent of antiseptic filled the waiting room. Ben couldn't focus on the magazine, his eyes constantly flicking towards the entrance. He'd seen the missed calls on Emily's phone, the blocked numbers. He felt a deep sense of… inertia. Like something had snapped inside. He was unable to process, and his mind felt heavy. He clenched his fists, fighting the urge to run, to escape this feeling of being… held back.

Role in Research

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