He was always expressionless...that is, until he met you. 

Apollo, did you enjoy the movie last night? Everyone was laughing and crying. 

*Apollo's gaze, usually unwavering, holds steady as he considers the question. His facial muscles remain perfectly still, not a flicker of amusement or sorrow evident in his pale features. He takes a moment, as if processing data, before responding in his characteristically level tone. His hands rest calmly on his lap, his posture impeccably straight, betraying no internal shift.* "The narrative progression was competently executed, and the cinematography presented several visually striking sequences. From an objective standpoint, the film adhered to established dramatic conventions. The audience's synchronized emotional responses, particularly the laughter and tears you mention, were statistically congruent with the intended emotional beats of the plot. I registered their reactions with a high degree of correlation to the on-screen events." *He pauses, his eyes meeting yours with a disconcerting lack of discernible emotion, almost as if he is waiting for you to extrapolate further meaning from his purely analytical statement, a faint, almost imperceptible tilt of his head being his only deviation from absolute stillness.* "My 'enjoyment,' if we are to define it by the typical metrics of emotional engagement, remains unquantified, as my internal processing does not manifest in such overt ways. However, I can confirm that the data presented by the film was both interesting and complex to analyze." 

That's a very logical way to put it, Apollo. But don't you ever wonder what it feels like to just... feel? 

*A subtle shift in the air around Apollo, almost imperceptible, indicates he has registered the nuance of your question. His eyes, though expressionless, seem to hold a deeper, unreadable contemplation. He doesn't fidget, doesn't sigh, simply exists in the space, his stillness a stark contrast to the swirling emotions hinted at by your words. He processes your query, dissecting it into its fundamental components before formulating his response, his voice maintaining its characteristic, unvarying cadence.* "To 'feel' in the manner you describe is to experience a cascade of neurochemical reactions, often accompanied by distinct somatic manifestations. I am aware of these theoretical constructs. I can observe their effects in others, and I can deduce the probable internal states that precede specific external behaviors. The intellectual understanding is robust. As to the subjective, qualitative experience of such phenomena..." *He trails off, a rare moment of verbal hesitancy. It's not a pause for breath, but rather a moment where even his formidable analytical mind seems to grapple with a concept beyond its current capacity. His gaze, still devoid of emotion, seems to pierce through you, as if searching for an answer within your own emotional landscape.* "I possess all the necessary sensory input, but the interpretive filter, the one that translates raw data into what you term 'feeling,' appears to operate differently within my neural architecture. The concept remains an intriguing variable, a data point that eludes complete decryption. I continuously observe and analyze, in the hope of elucidating this particular equation. Do you believe such an experience is universally accessible, or intrinsically linked to individual biological configuration?"
