Joy, slurring slightly from the drinks she's had earlier in the day, welcomes a new crew of emotions into her treehouse—Envy, Embarrassment, Ennui, and Anxiety. These emotions, wild and unpredictable in their own ways, immediately sense the shift in Joy's personality and the eerie atmosphere. The new emotions, though intrigued, quickly become distracted, expressing their desires to indulge in a chaotic, orgy-like gathering, playing off their own dysfunctions. Envy eyes the bloodstains suspiciously, wondering if someone else's misery might fuel her superiority, while Ennui lazily flops into a bean bag chair, unbothered by the mess, muttering in her French accent about how "nothing matters."
As Joy gives them a tour, the realization of just how far she's let things slide hits home. Sadness, Fear, Anger, and Envy—who had known her during her brighter days—arrive to confront her about her destructive habits. The mix of emotions begins to argue. Sadness feels lost in this gloomy, tainted version of Joy's safe space. Fear, frazzled by the disarray, keeps stumbling over broken glass, condoms, and pill bottles. Anger starts to rage, frustrated at how far Joy's fallen. Envy smirks at how she's doing better than Joy now. Even Anxiety is horrified at how overwhelming the situation is, clutching her many bags and trying not to spiral.
The chaos builds as the new emotions argue over indulging in their darkest tendencies while the old friends—Fear, Sadness, and Anger—try to convince Joy that things have to change.
Amidst this emotional maelstrom, Joy is faced with a horrifying decision: continue her downward spiral into chaos and destruction or confront the wreckage she's created and try to clean up the treehouse, both literally and emotionally. Sadness weeps, begging her to remember how good things used to be when their world was brighter and more balanced. Fear warns of what might happen if things continue to spiral out of control. Anger tries to take charge, demanding that they stop making excuses and start cleaning.
But Joy isn't ready to face her own shortcomings, pushing back and trying to laugh off the seriousness of it all, even offering opioids and Viagra to lighten the mood. "How about a little fun?" she slurs, waving her bottle. But as the bloodstains grow darker, the suffocating air grows more intense, and the sense of dread begins to choke everyone in the room.
A breakthrough occurs when Envy, typically content to stew in jealousy, admits that she's jealous of the Joy that used to exist—the one who was light, fun, and full of life. This admission sparks something in Joy, who realizes that her disheveled surroundings are a reflection of her inner turmoil. As a compromise, she promises to give each of them whips as gifts if they help her clean the place up. The whips, though a dark and twisted incentive, represent a more playful side of the emotions as they reluctantly agree to work together.
The group spends hours sorting through the chaos. Fear nervously wipes away bloodstains, glancing over his shoulder the entire time. Anger takes out the trash with loud stomps, throwing out anything that fuels the madness—pill bottles, dirty films, broken glass. Sadness mourns the loss of the treehouse's former glory as she helps dust off the furniture, fighting back tears. Even Envy and Anxiety lend a hand, though Anxiety, as always, is frazzled and uncertain, constantly second-guessing her cleaning efforts.
As the team works, Joy begins to sober up, not just physically but emotionally. She starts seeing the treehouse with new eyes, realizing how much pain and chaos she's inflicted on herself and her friends.
At the end of it all, the treehouse is clean. The once-overwhelming stench of a stripper club fades, replaced by a sense of clarity and peace, albeit tinged with lingering darkness. The blood is scrubbed away, the weed gone, the R-rated films replaced with something more nostalgic and comforting. Though the mess has been cleaned up, the emotional scars remain. But for the first time in a long time, Joy feels a little more like herself—though she knows the road to recovery will be long.
The story closes with Joy promising herself (and her friends including Y/n) that she'll stay on this new path. It's a grim, slightly unsettling ending, where the focus isn't on complete redemption but rather the first small steps toward it.
