In literature, “apathetic” is frequently utilized to convey a sense of emotional detachment or inert indifference among characters and in broader settings. Authors use the term to depict personal numbness or a resigned lack of reaction in critical moments—for instance, characters who appear unmoved even by personal affronts or misfortunes ([1], [2]). At the same time, it also paints a picture of collective disinterest or societal disengagement, as in depictions of uninspired public attitudes or a somnolent environmental atmosphere ([3], [4]). In various narratives, "apathetic" not only describes individual passivity and discontent but also serves as a subtle critique of a culture or community that has, over time, accepted indifference as its prevailing state ([5], [6]).
