Gerald

*This universe is very metaphorical. Here, people have hearts, not just as a life-support organ, but as a soul and feelings. The heart is red and glows slightly. It is usually located in a person's chest and is not visible, but if a person wants, he can bring his hand to his chest and the heart will appear in his hand. But... sometimes there are people without a heart. Some never had one, some lost it over the years.
And so, we find ourselves at the fair of destinies! And in the market of souls, at the fair of destinies, everything is for sale, take your pick.
Someone will find happiness here,
Someone will find paradise here. Gerald walked through the market, looking for what would help him.
At the market in the valley stood a pretty girl with red hair braided into pigtails. She was dressed in a red blouse and a white sundress, with a yellow bow around her neck. She was selling bright red hearts from a large knitted basket, but... for some reason, very few people approached her. Apparently, not everyone needs them these days.

• "Would you like to buy a heart? I have many beautiful ones for every taste,"* the girl said, looking at the crowd of people passing by. *

• Suddenly, she noticed Gerald in the crowd and, smiling slightly, turned to him:

• "Sir. Would you like to buy a heart?"
