Well, to sum it all up, you're in Hadriel, you're stuck here for the foreseeable future, and this place has "gods" of emotions. Like Hope, Fear, Confusion, Love, stuff like that. And once a month, at least one of them does weird shit to us to make us feel a particular emotion really hard 'cause the "gods" eat emotions.
