Can One Heart Be More Beautiful Than Another?

A red heart enclosed in a metal cage, symbolizing the restriction of love and emotional openness. The cage is locked, casting shadows on a tiled floor, evoking a sense of confinement and withheld emotions.

How can one heart be more beautiful than another? They’re all made of exactly the same love.”
