### Content
Temperature of the heart
Say, give me your hand?
Here.
Hmm, I see...
What's going on?
Oho...
I wonder if I can tell what's in your heart...
Pardon?
Since when do hearts wear gloves?
Here we go again.
I guess...
Hmm...
Your heart.
Seems complicated to me regardless.
I'm not a doctor, so I'm not sure...
An ashtray.
That'll be all.
Apparently, the size of your hand
is the same as the size of your heart.
You learn something new every day.
Thanks to you putting my "heart" in the open.
The lemon pasta, and...
Thoughts, feelings...
Things like those can't be seen so simply.

If everything could be found in the palms of our hands, life would be much easier.
I think it's trying to make it's way outside.
"Let me out!"
It's the heart wanting to see for itself what's going on...
Here you are...
Today, the house also offers another fragrance, should you wish for a second cup.
Thank you.
You have to respond some way or another, it's impolite otherwise.
Your story just left me... speechless, that's all...
Oh...
I suppose it can be nice to listen in silence.
Mh.
What's happened to you?
That's why, usually, we look to the face's expression...
It's a little more acces- sible...
You know...
When your heart races...
I...
"Look at all of me!" it says...
"Why am I beating so hard?
Your pasta and
a Highland Toffee tea.
As well as the ashtray.

Just a thank you for presenting me your hand.
You really are a mystery...
Delicious!
Do you think so?
Yes.
Very much so.
I don't think you could be more mys- terious.
Going back to the heart...
Even I can't really read it. It's quite troublesome.
Like me, then?
Yeah. Like you.
But I suppose...
The trouble isn't all that bad.
