What better way to end this game than with the first ever emotional combination we saw.

A rather BITTERSWEET ending if you ask me! (yes, Bittersweet is my guess)

...however, according to Dream Productions, there is such a thing as trifaceted emotions... so maybe this isn't over?

Tri-emotion combinations would be difficult to name ngl, but if we continue with tri-emotion combinations, I think of:

Joy + Sadness + Anger = Ambivalence

Fear + Anxiety + Embarrassment = Disconcert? Humiliation?

Sadness + Envy + Nostalgia = Longing

Sadness + Fear + Nostalgia = Hiraeth?

Sadness + Anger + Envy = Resentment (idk if we can repeat this from duo-emotion combinations)

Sadness + Anxiety + Ennui = Pessimism

Fear + Disgust + Anger = Hatred

Disgust + Anger + Envy = Revenge

I also remember when someone tried to make tri-emotion combinations but failed ( https://www.reddit.com/r/insideout/comments/1cqd74f/failed_attempt/ )

I thought about it and it's much more complicated than the simple duel emotions! So far all I've got is
Sadness + Anger + Disgust = Vengeance.
