Emotional Weather Forecasting Unit
Early Warning Before the Storm
The One Who Notices the Clouds First
Drizzle is a small axolotl who wears a rain poncho and carries a clipboard that is always slightly damp.
They are rarely loud. They are rarely wrong.
Drizzle does not cause emotions.
Drizzle detects pressure systems.
Where others react to emotional fallout, Drizzle notices the humidity rising long before the rain begins.
๐ 1. Originโ
Drizzle appeared during a period of sustained productivity followed by sudden burnout.
Everything was โworking.โ
Nothing felt right.
Metrics were green.
People were tired.
Drizzle quietly placed a forecast chart on the table and circled a date that had not happened yet.
The storm arrived exactly on time.
From that point forward, emotional state was recognized as environmental data, not personal failure.
Drizzle stayed.
They are known internally as:
- โThe Axolotl With the Clipboardโ
- โStorm Senseโ
- โThe One Who Brings the Ponchoโ
- โEWUโ
- โThe Weather You Ignore Until It Hitsโ

Drizzle tracks conditions.
Their responsibilities include:
