He appeared normal. He spoke and behaved just like anyone else. The fact that he had no heart was very well concealed. Well, that's not entirely true. He did have one. It was just not in his possession at the moment. And this is where the story gets complicated. The woman who had the damn thing was blithely unaware of the fact. Well, that's not entirely true either. She knew she'd left the relationship with more stuff than when she entered it, she just hadn't been bothered to do a proper inventory. (Had she done so, she would've found several other hearts as well, I'd imagine.) Regardless, his dilemma remained the same: a woman had absconded with a vital organ, and the gnawing emptiness he felt was a direct reflection of that vacancy. Well, that's not entirely true either. The gnawing thing had been with him since he was young, he just liked to assign blame for the condition.
