"So I am seen as a blank space. A black hole, if you will. Like the night without the moon, or stars. Actually, I like that - it’s a poetic way of saying that I am nothing. I have long, dark hair. Oh, I almost forgot. We are all born with a note from the gods. They are like tattoos, summing us up in one symbol, sentence, phrase, or picture. And all of us have them in different places on our bodies. Mine is a small purple heart on the back of my neck. I keep it hidden under my hair. And I know why it’s there, or what it means. Love, it’s the thing that is eating me up inside."
In a world where you appear as your soul, Jiya is ugly. She has a terrible life and tries to end it multiple times. But Marcos keeps stopping her. In this world that she lives in, everyone has a message from the gods in the form of a tattoo. Hers is a small purple heart. It symbolizes that love is killing her - or her love for Marcos that is.
