Relieved

Relieved: a big breath in that lifts the chest and the shoulders, then a long breath out as they drop, one hand coming to rest on the chest, the head tipping forward a little.

What it is for

Relieved is for the moment the danger passes: the monster walks by, the test comes back with a good mark, the lost dog comes home. It plays once in under two and a half seconds and ends at rest, the hand still on the chest.

The principle it shows: anticipation

The breath out is the action; the breath in is its anticipation. For half a second the chest lifts back and the shoulders rise, and only then, over 0.9 seconds, does everything drop further than where it began. Without the breath in, the drop would just be someone sitting lower; with it, the audience sees a weight lifted.

0 s — left shoulder 10 out 90, right shoulder 10 out 90, chest 0, head 0.
0.5 s — chest -8, head -8, left shoulder 14 out 90, right shoulder 14 out 90.
1.4 s — chest 8, head 6, left shoulder 0 out 90, right shoulder 0 out 90, right arm 15 out -40 twist -70, right forearm 100, right hand open, the body up -2.

Try this

Let the chest sink 18 degrees on the breath out instead of 8: weak at the knees with relief.
In the program: ramp · to.part:torso#1 8 → 18
Tip the head back 20 degrees on the breath in instead of 8: eyes to the sky, thank goodness.
In the program: ramp · to.part:head -8 → -20

How it differs from Sad and Yawn

Sad sighs too, but stays low and keeps sighing. Yawn stretches up before it slumps, tired rather than relieved.

Works on

The two in the film above, and what the move turns on each: worked out by the build, which plays the move on each body and checks what moves. Nobody types this table.
Who	Moves?	What moves
Sunny (one of the six people)	yes	whole body, body, head, arms
Grump (an animal on four legs)	yes	whole body, body, head, front legs, back legs, tail, ears
