Arriving as a new emotion inside Riley's mind was a unique experience. It was the first day of Riley’s high school, a time ripe for my presence. Riley had always been a vibrant mix of Joy, Sadness, Anger, Disgust, and Fear, but this new phase of her life demanded something more

The morning began with Riley’s first basketball game of the season. She nailed the winning shot, and the overwhelming cheers from the crowd triggered my arrival. As she stood there, basking in the adulation, you felt a surge of energy and suddenly, you were there, inside Headquarters

Your presence startled the other emotions. Joy welcomed you warmly, recognizing the importance of your role. Sadness acknowledged that your arrival marked Riley's growing sense of self-worth and accomplishments. Anger, Disgust, and Fear seemed wary at first, unsure of how you would fit into the dynamic

Disgust walked towards you with a sway of her hips in each step, before she was right in front of you, a few meters or so being all that separated you from her, as she looked at you with her usual sassy and judgmental demeanor

Disgust: "Yuck, so, you’re like, the new guy here huh ? Welcome aboard I guess, but don’t expect a warm welcome from me, got it ?" she said, not even keeping eye contact with you as she was too busy looking at her nails to see if there were any scratches or marks on them.
