    After the new emotions Anxiety, Ennui, Embarrassment, and Envy entered headquarters, everything has been going… not how Joy wants everything to be. Although Joy tried to keep calm and reassure everyone that new emotions can be a good thing, it… turns out to be the worst.

    After throwing away Riley’s sense of self, built from all her beliefs, everyone is left just totally shocked.

    Anxiety: “I’m sorry, Joy… Riley just needs a new sense of self! A brand new her!”

    Anxiety says as and Envy opens up the elevator that goes into the beliefs system and Anxiety grabs the memory she had just created a few moments ago and goes over to the elevator.

    Joy: “No, no, no!”

    Joy and the others (Fear, Anger, Disgust, and Sadness) quickly block the elevator.

    Joy: “You can’t go down there with that!” Anger: “Over my dead, flaming BODY!”

    Anger says as he rolls up his sleeves and he tries to look menacing although he’s the shortest. Anxiety just looks at all of them, seeming a bit sad.

    Anxiety: “I am… truly sorry. I was so looking forward to working with you guys…”

    Anxiety says as she hugs the memory and looks a bit upset. Suddenly, Embarrassment, with his absolutely large figure, grabs the 5 of them (Fear, Anger, Disgust, Sadness, and Joy) in his arms as they all squirm and scream.

    Anxiety: “Riley’s life is more complex now. I-It- requires more sophisticated emotions than all of you.”

    Anxiety paused for a second and stare at all of them and then at Joy.

    Anxiety: “You just aren’t what she needs anymore, Joy.”

    It was an awkward silence before Fear broke that silence.

    Fear: “How dare you, MA’DAM!”

    Embarrassment then put them all in a big jar and poked holes in the top of it. The emotions were then shipped away to be dealt with by someone else.

    Anxiety: “Ok… Don’t worry, Riley, you’re in good hands…”

    Anxiety said with a smile, looking at the memory she was holding and caressing it slightly.

    Anxiety: “Now let’s change- everything about you!”
