Generative distillation significantly accelerates text-to-image (T2I) generation by compressing multi-step trajectories into few-step student models while preserving perceptual quality. However, existing methods primarily optimize efficiency and output fidelity, often neglecting critical properties of the original trajectory. In this work, we identify a key missing property: sensitivity to initial noise, whose degradation impairs downstream control methods relying on noise-based optimization and manipulation. We trace this issue to standard distillation objectives that enforce pointwise output alignment, inadvertently flattening the input-output landscape and suppressing the teacher's local geometric structure. To address this, we propose Geometry-Aware Distillation (GAD), a sensitivity-preserving framework that aligns the local functional behavior of teacher and student models. Specifically, GAD matches Jacobian-vector products with respect to input noise, enabling the student to reproduce the teacher's differential response to perturbations. Extensive experiments across multiple T2I paradigms and noise-driven control tasks demonstrate that GAD significantly restores sensitivity and improves diversity while maintaining high visual fidelity.
