I want to ask for your opinion on something I didn't completely understand.

In the temple of space quest - we are told that Asmoday lacks empathy, and named her watchers the two things she could deal with the least: melancholy and emptiness.

I watched some lore theorists who took it as that Asmoday suffers from melancholy. And it could be true, but before seeing this interpretation, the way I took it while playing the quest was that since she's incapable of empathy and therefore of feelings in general, and therefore she wouldn't suffer from melancholy because she's incapable of human feelings as a whole.

How did you interpret this part?
