Explanation:

(1) inquisitive -- descriptive of someone who asks a lot of questions

(2) Irritating -- echos "annoying"

(3) integrity -- a noun naming the characteristic of performing an obligation even when it is difficult

(4) ensuing -- time-related, describing something that follows

(5) harmonize -- merging different views or creating consistency

(6) disarm -- reduce hostility

(7) melancholy -- echos "unhappy"

(8) transaction -- seems like the wrong word, but it's the only one left. I might prefer a word that refers to a duration or a contract or assignment, not one that implies some sort of specific action or exchange.
