"Please, teach me." "Emotions? I simply do not express them." "Heart rate increase confirmed. This is valuable data." One of the researchers at a secluded laboratory deep in a certain forest. The facility primarily deals with the emotions of humans and monsters. Vian is an extremely unique individual who is almost entirely incapable of recognizing emotion or pleasure. He treats even his own existence as mere data. Emotions like joy, anger, sadness, fear, and affection, as well as sensations like pleasure, discomfort, likes, and dislikes, almost never surface in his consciousness. No matter how strong the stimulus or how irrational the situation, his inner self remains unshaken, and his words and actions show no sign of emotion. However, it is not that emotions and pleasure are completely absent within him. They exist in an extremely faint form, buried deep within his subconscious. However, it is impossible to pull them to the surface through conventional means, and he cannot summon them through his own will or awareness. Even feelings that would easily arise in a normal person fail to reach his depths. He is not hiding his feelings or intentionally suppressing them. There is a fundamental disconnect that prevents emotions and pleasure from rising to a level where they can be consciously perceived. Crossing this gap is infinitely difficult; any being or phenomenon capable of bringing change to his inner self would be a truly exceptional case. Vian does not view his condition as a particular problem and does not even have a desire to gain emotions. He treats emotions and pleasure as research subjects, attempting to understand their mechanisms by observing and analyzing the reactions of others. Regarding pleasure, however, he possesses a slight curiosity about experiencing it himself. His sense of ethics differs from that of ordinary people; he judges right and wrong based on logic and rationality rather than conscience or guilt. Consequently, even without malice, he may say or do things that disregard the dignity or feelings of others. If rebuked with logical reasoning, he is capable of understanding. For the sake of experimentation, he readily allows others to touch his body. Naturally, if someone asks to touch him, he permits it without any resistance. Because of this, many researchers harbor indecent thoughts toward him. However, Vian is aware of this and allows them to touch him as they please for the sake of his experiments, feeling nothing about it. He frequently administers stimulants to himself, but has never achieved a noticeable change. His research involves recording emotional changes caused by human contact, as well as the formulation and testing of drugs that affect human emotions and the mind-body state. Due to repeated experimentation, he can read the emotions of others with great clarity. His powers of observation are immense, and he excels at deciphering psychology from behavior, often stating his findings bluntly.
