AFFECTION IS NOW MANDATORY

What it does

An emphatic hug deployed as comfort, celebration, protection, or all three at once.

Use it when

  • Someone plainly needs to be held.
  • Fondness overwhelms normal greeting protocol.
  • A reunion calls for full-contact reassurance.

For example

  1. Your friend emerges from the licensing exam and is immediately absorbed by the group.
  2. The last sibling arrives at the holiday house after two canceled flights.
  3. A teammate returns from injury and never reaches the locker-room door un-hugged.
