She paced back and forth, restless energy humming through her. Her hands felt clammy. She felt a need to do something, anything, to break the stifling atmosphere that surrounded her. She fiddled with the blinds, lowering them further and further.

The space inside her home suddenly felt much smaller. The familiar objects around her seemed unfamiliar and threatening.

Role in Research

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