How would they feel if they broke someones heart and found out?: If Vietsi found out he had been the one to shatter a heart, he'd feel guilty, sad, and sensitive, but most of all he'd feel surprised.
To Vietsi, a broken heart does not mean abandonment, betrayal, or evil. Instead it is a symbol for passion, caring, and importance. Broken hearts are not given out for free. They are rewarded to those who loved most deeply, most truly, and punish them with their curse. But the punishment is an honour, one more genuine than a sport's trophy or academic award. This curse is a painful gift which proves what love had been was real. It was true. It was wholehearted. A relationship cut off that does not leave a broken heart is a relationship that never should have happened. The curse is of true compassion, true beauty.
This is why Vietsi feels so surprised. Someone loved him. Someone held him deep in his heart, thought of him to cheer themselves up, cried on his shoulder when something went wrong. He was there for them. He'd been a good partner. Someone had thought of him as part of them, and this is the true beauty of love.
Surprise is what hits him first. He hides it well, but he does have insecurities, and the truth is, everyone does. Vietsi feels slow when he can't run as fast as his classmates in gym or dumb when he gets a low score on his exam. Sometimes he feels downright worthless. The broken heart proves he is worth something to someone. And that's all he needed. All he needed to wake up another morning, breathe another breath.
So as they mourn for a loss of love, at least something was there. Something more valuable than all the gold in the world. A genuine feeling of compassion for another being, the most beautiful thing of all. Yes, the beauty in this curse surprises Vietsi with a creature's ability of connection, a creatures ability of love.
