The orb is a heavy weight on your shoulder, filling out your leather bag and leaving little room for any of your plants. It's mostly a pain in the ass to carry the thing around, especially considering you didn't even want it, but you have it now. Normally, if you didn't want it, you would just throw it to the ground, perhaps smash it to pieces, do whatever it is you have to do to get rid of the thing, but keeping the orb means more to you. Not because it is a companion, not because it will grow to be bonded with your soul, but rather because you can use it- against Ampere. Once the thing is hatched, grown enough that it is in little danger, you're going to find the little blue firecracker and flaunt it in her face that you stole her dreams away. She deserves it.

As for your sides, they're still heavily marred by electric burns. Each step you take is painful, though dulled by constant over-medication. Your brain is hazy, thoughts distant and hard to grasp on to- even harder to keep in place. You are a robot, going through the motions of life, drowning in your efforts to make yourself feel healthy again. Drool falls from your mouth as you stagger this way and that, confused about everything and anything. You don't even know where you are anymore. You just feel heat. Burning heat. And then you realize where you are. You were here not too long ago, some foolish denizens of Helovia trying to jump over the obviously-too-large distance from one side of the fire pit to the other. You never did find out what happened to them, or the orb that was floating over the center of the pit.

Imagine your surprise then, that on your second trip to the Heart you are gifted with your second magical encounter here. There are three girls- one sparkling, one painted and one golden, each paying respects to the lavender hybrid in their own way. At first you don't understand whats going on, but your body moves towards them, as if compelled. A final, stumbling step sends you to the ground before the queen of the night, orb luckily avoiding any damage, burns grinding into the dirt below you and making you wince in pain, even despite the mind-numbing effects of your locoweed plants. Then you just look at her, mind too hazy even to be upset. Will you even remember this encounter in the days to come?
