Alexis seemed confused at first and was unsure of how to respond, as if her analytical mind was unable to project an efficient or effective response. She felt a faint moment of thrilling rush that she couldn't explain, but it made her feel as if she was energized. It wasn't sadness, she was quite certain, but she didn't know what it could be. In the end, she decided that honesty was the best policy with Vincent and work on her lack of knowledge in human emotions in the near future. "I can say with reasonable confidence that I do not experience "sadness". However, I cannot sufficiently elaborate on my physical response due to lack of information. What I can infer for the time being is that I felt a heightened alertness and formation of social fulfillment when and after our lips made contact."
