So, I'm guessing everyone got one of these.

[By one of these, he means an off-color, withered little heart, just big enough for him to hold between finger and thumb, and he holds it up to the camera for all to see.]

Has anyone figured out exactly what they're supposed to be? Apart from the products of another curse, I assume.

I'll trade you.

I'm not so sure I believe that yours could be any less aesthetically pleasing.

I guess it's sort of pretty, but it's just taking up far too much room.

[Too much room?] How big can it be?

[She pans the camera round to show this.] About that big.

[Oh. Huh.]

Yeah, I think I'll pass on that trade.

That's a shame, yours seems much more convenient. But suit yourself.

Did someone give you a bad piece of candy?

Your heart.

Something tells me this thing isn't edible.

[Oh, good. This guy again.]

Funny, I've been told I don't have one.

Well it's not exactly huge, is it?

I'm not so sure that convenient is the word I'd use for it.

[Excuse you mister I can't take a joke. Raymond has the self-control to not snap a reply to him, but he does visibly bristle.]

So how big is yours?

Big enough.

Not exactly huge either, I take it.

Bigger than yours.

[Although it's black and ashy.]

Well, what word would you use?

Little more than symbolism, from what I've gathered.

[He has to think about that for a second.]

Unnecessary.

If it's really supposed to be your heart, something leads me to doubt that.

well they're not exactly subtle about it

Really? That's kind of sad, in a way. But I guess it means your heart can't hurt you, too.

[He has to pause again, this time inhaling deeply before answering.]

I guess it is.

No, I can't really say they are.

Well, at least after today you won't have it right there flaunted in front of you, hm? You can carry on trying to be heartless in peace.

[He looks away for a moment before he responds this time.]

Is that supposed to be some kind of joke?

[She looks a little confused.] ...No, I was trying to be sympathetic. I'm sorry.
