TheGentlemanInspired by Gary the bus driver's 5 Angers. I know it was just a joke by the animators, but I’ve always been intrigued by how come Gary's emotions are all Angers and nothing else. My guess is that when a person falls into mental illness, some emotions might gain the ability to infect and assimilate the rest. In Gary's case, it would be Anger, which is why he is always so rageful!
But what would happen if there were two infectious emotions at the same time??
👉The following is the full diagnostic report of Bipolar Disorder, attached with the scan results of neuroimaging to showcase its development in Riley's mind.
1️⃣Stage 1 - Incubation
⚠️Random exchanges in skin colors and facial or body features observed
💥Manifestation: Joy and Sadness are mutualy infected. They can no longer make Riley feel their respective emotion accurately anymore. For instance, Joy may cause Riley to feel sad or occasionally, even plunge her into profound sadness, and vice versa. Despite it is never possible to do so - physically speaking. And what's worse, just a light touch from them can overwhelm Riley with excessive emotion! Due to this instability, both are heavily restricted from using the console.
2️⃣Stage 2 - Outbreak
⚠️Coincidental contact triggered an assimilation event. The likelihood of its occurrence is notably heightened upon simultaneous engagement with the console
💥Manifestation: The bodies of Joy and Sadness begin to inadvertently assimilate each other. As both grow increasingly deformed with each passing day, no emotion dares to approach their former colleagues as they all fear it is some sort of unknown infection. Anxiety—Riley’s secondary dominating emotion—secretly begins to take charge in stealth whenever the duo is not present.
3️⃣Stage 3 - Rampage
⚠️Unsuccessful assimilation eventually resulted in a persistent interlocking state, wherein bodily form undergoes cyclic shifts in an unpredictable pattern
💥Manifestation: The failure has ultimately left Joy and Sadness trapped within their own body. Still, the absorption did not stop there and is what continuously twisting their physical form. Riley’s mood state shifts whenever one of the emotion became dominant by possessing most of their shared body and hindering the suppressed emotion from reaching for the console herself, which is essentially forcing the latter into dormancy. On top of that, the failing to break free from this agony has intensified the aggression among themselves, even to the point where they are starting to believe that eliminating the other half in order to regain control of the console and the body - as well as for the betterment of Riley's mental health - is an inevitable necessity.
Yet as their conflict deepen, so is Riley's internal turmoil…
Summary: BD is the horrifying result when two infectious emotions (in this case: Joy and Sadness) failed to completely assimilate with one another, causing the host to suffer emotional swings from both ends instead of just one.
