Its equipment with a heart serves a very special purpose. The steady beating is not only a reminder of the creation this doll represents. It is a very special gift the witch gave to this particular doll. For this heartbeat is where she rests her head, herself hiding from the pressures and persecution of the world within the constant, near perfect rhythm. Curling up onto its porcelain body, turning it into a warm and soft pillow. It is a place she shows herself in her pure sense of self, not hiding a single wound or scar, a place where she allows herself to be vulnerable. And it is this vulnerability she gives to it, this little heart that is one of the most precious gifts she could ever give a doll.
