Blood Work

Blood Work primarily elicits Empathy due to the protagonist's vulnerable post-heart transplant condition and his deeply personal connection to the murder victim. This is closely followed by Anxiety and Anticipation, driven by the tense crime investigation of a serial killer and the uncertainty of McCaleb's physical endurance. Sadness and Melancholy are significant, reflecting the themes of loss, the protagonist's declining health, and the overall somber tone. Curiosity is high as the audience pieces together clues alongside the profiler, while Anger is directed at the perpetrator. Finally, Inspiration emerges from McCaleb's unwavering determination to seek justice despite his severe limitations.
