unnerved - Story 158243 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The sterile smell of the hospital, usually a comfort to her, now felt like a toxic cloud. Amelia stared at the file, the wrong file, the wrong everything. Her file contained someone else's diagnoses, someone else's treatment.

Her heart hammered a frantic tattoo against her ribs. She couldn't breathe properly. She felt disconnected from her body, as though an invisible hand had switched out her identity.

She reached for her phone, her fingers fumbling with the buttons. "Mom," she managed, her voice cracking. "I… I don't know what's happening."

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.
