I think I can tell you about what you have seen. The truth is my heart is not strong. I once suffered from neuralgia. I think that these recent events have left my heart even weaker. Death and resurrection only worsened things. I used to have problems in my childhood because of my illness, but my mother's friend gave me some medicine. It made me better, but some weeks ago the problem resurfaced. And earlier, when Rea stabbed me, the problem really "woke up". I told you once that weaknesses can make us stronger because we can move forward, but I don't know any way to rid myself of this problem. At least not physically; but I think it helps make me mentally stronger. At the very least it makes me certain that I want to enjoy every day I don't have this pain.
