She had to stay, she had to sort everything. But her stomach churned. The shadows seemed to dance in the corners of her vision, and she kept catching glimpses of movement out of the corner of her eye.

She tried to focus on the task at hand, but her hands trembled as she opened a drawer. A chilling draft swept through the room, making her shiver despite the warm air. She didn't want to be here.

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.
