[In the early hours of the morning, what people will see over their SFCs is a very large room that takes on the appearance of an art studio. Despite the many artistic supplies spread in various locations, the room does house a single man in it. This man is sitting in front of a canvas that doesn't have much on it, yet he's staring very intently at the canvas before setting the brush down. What can be seen is a painting of three hearts; one white, one black, and one gray. After a few moments of staring at his creation, he picks up the SFC which was already switched on prior to him painting this odd picture, the expression on his face rather neutral. Not happy or sad, simply neutral.]

Do call me curious dear Vatheon, but this is something I have been pondering for some time now. Why should we celebrate holidays we don't celebrate back home? Certainly some have been for the amusement of it, but take for instance this one we currently celebrated. For those who don't believe in love, a holiday entirely dedicated to it is seen as ridiculous. But that can be said of all people who don't believe in certain holidays, doesn't it?

Though this holiday especially can also arouse questions within us, particularly to matters of the heart as that seems to be its theme. A few I can think of are: Is there such a thing as true happiness or love? Is the feeling truly there or not? Can the supposed happiness and love gained with another who said they felt the same remain always? Or will it fade away like sand being washed away by the ocean?

You're such a lovely lady yet your spirit is one even I can't get to, it's rather sad.

You win some, you lose some, I guess.

Shing is lucky to have you, I suppose.

I'm lucky to have him, too.

And hey, even if you don't believe in it, I have faith that you will find someone like that someday.

[Ha ha ha ha. Really? Really Kohaku?]

That's mere wishful thinking, Kohaku.

Well, like I said, it's my own belief that it'll happen for you.

You're a very bright spirit, don't lose that.

Been there, done that, don't want to do it again.

[He wasn't expecting that answer.]

Um, I don't quite understand what you mean by that.

It's a long story ...

I can listen if you wish to tell.

I guess we can start with "My heart literally broke into tiny pieces that scattered across my world."

... I mean it literally. Not figuratively. I can't emphasize that enough.

[ She'll give him a few moments to take that in before she TLDRs an explanation further than that. ]

[He does take in every last word, that sounds as if it was very painful for her.]

How did you live without your heart?

When my spirune shattered, one shard remained. It not only kept me 'alive,' so to speak, but it also acted as a radar to detect the other shards, so that we could find them easier.

[ She's going to have a lot of explaining to do. ]

That's quite interesting to hear.

[Because really, there's never been anything like that in his world.]

It's not fun, I'll tell you that much. I remember everything that happened, but it's hard to describe everything ... I had to slowly recover my emotions, one by one.

Well it's in the past now, isn't it? You have your heart again and all of your emotions. So in the end, everything turned out fine.

Yeah, it did.

[ Thankfully, she had people who were willing to go the distance for her sake. She wouldn't be who she is now without them. ]

I'm glad you have it back too.

[Even if he doesn't agree about emotions and what not.]

It'd be pretty interesting if I didn't, though. I mean, If I had some of it back, I'd be totally angry all the time, or totally scared all the time ...

Hopefully the coral doesn't decide to take your emotions away for a curse.

It's happened before.

Perhaps the coral will remove all of our emotions.

I hope not.

I don't put it pass them to do that.
