Intangible Inheritance

Imagine a world where emotions can be inherited like physical properties. Detail a character who receives an unexpected emotion and must navigate its effects.

In most societies, we only inherit physical properties, like wealth or heirlooms. But what if we could inherit emotions too? How would this change interpersonal relationships? Would it cause generational trauma to echo more robustly or would it blossom into a continuous flow of love and empathy throughout generations? This prompt encourages you to push the boundaries of traditional inheritance, embedding a magical realism angle to see how it could impact society differently.
