Talk:The Heart/@comment-75.80.96.165-20121012104511

About the heart being made from the Empress's heart; after saving Emily, once you exit through a door, you will see Granny Rags lingering around. If you talk to her she will tell you a story about the Empress Jessamine. A quote from Rags then is as follows:

"Nothing's been the same since her death! Poor child! Her spirit lives on - trapped - misused - and for what purpose?"

which reminds of one of the lines that the heart says:

"I am not alive - nor have I received the gift of death."

I think this pretty much tells it.
