Audience emotional responses for 'Growth' are primarily dominated by **Fear** and **Anxiety**, stemming from the parasitic outbreak, the mysterious loss of life, and the protagonist Jamie's desperate struggle for survival against both the evolving threat and hostile islanders. **Disgust** is a strong component due to the nature of the parasitic research and its grotesque implications for human evolution.
