Um... I'm not sure which aspect I was think of *specifically* when I
wrote this, but the concepts of a heart being divided ("split feelings")
is kind of a terran thing. Someone (I believe it was Qanqor) once
pointed out to me that other races might not equate emotions to the
heart, but to another organ instead.
Of course, if you meant something different, ignore my comment. {{:)
