[QUOTE="Azure Sky]Every human is empathic, but when we reach a certain age in our childhood we instinctively shut down our empathy mechanisms, because we can't handle the overflow of emotions from other people. But we can reactivate that empathic ability by entering a state of emotional neutrality (there is a technique for that). Also once you shut down your visual senses, your empathic ones grow stronger. Even then it is most likely that you'll feel the emotions of the person who is the closest to you physically. But since Lumiere, Feya, and even Daz (manipulative mode on) are emotionally neutral right now, the one whose emotions Lumiere will feel will be Areum.
Now let me bust a myth here...Empathy isn't as amazing an ability as you see it in movies. You can feel a few basic emotions coming from a person. Namely sadness, anxiety, fear, joy, and anger.
If Areum responds with false sympathy, Len would be able to tell, by reading her empathic state. If she feels any emotion which is different from the basic sadness, then she's lying. If she feels nothing , then Len will understand that she is manipulative just like them.

Interesting. I did no know this. Is this real science, backed by research, or is pseudo-science to explain powers?
