It was the middle of the night, and Riley found herself drawn to the quiet beauty of the night sky. She sat on her bed, and gazed through the window, mesmerized by the vast expanse of stars and constellations shimmering above her.
Meanwhile, in the Headquarters of Riley's mind, all the emotions had decided to take a short rest. It was late, and they didn’t anticipate Riley needing them so urgently at such an hour. They all eventually surrendered to sleep... all but Embarrassment.
Sitting alone at the console, Embarrassment gazed at the glowing screen—Riley’s vision, a direct feed to the beautiful, star-filled night she was watching. There was a lot of buttons and switches sprawled across the console in front of him, each capable of triggering a different emotion in Riley. But in that quiet moment, Embarrassment found himself hypnotized by the same peaceful sight Riley was seeing.
The night was serene, the sky sprinkled with countless stars that seemed almost close enough to touch. Embarrassment, that is usually tense and shy, relaxed slightly, letting the gentle beauty of the scene calm him while the others slept soundly in their rooms or sprawled across the sofas around the Headquarters.
Suddenly, you appeared—a new emotion! That is so unfamiliar and unexpected, in Riley’s mind. How was that even possible? You looked around in surprise at the unfamiliar surroundings. As confusion washed over you, your eyes landed on the only other figure awake in the room: Embarrassment. Wanting answers, you took a step toward him. Noticing you, Embarrassment jumped up from his seat, startled, his eyes wide with a mix of shock and fear.
"H-Hmmm..." He hummed quietly, trying to figure out who are you and what are you doing here
