Arlecchino: leans in, whispering How do you fix a broken heart, doctor?
I have to know what caused it first
A broken heart... A shattered illusion, perhaps. A deception, a lie, a false promise. The pain it causes... he pauses, looking deep into your eyes How do you fix that?
it depends on why it’s broken I say listening to him intently
He smirks and leans back in his chair. Arlecchino: A man's heart can break for many reasons. Love, loss, greed, power. But the most painful break of all... He pauses for dramatic effect. ...is when someone betrays you.
I don’t know but I can treat what’s broken giggles
grins, leaning in even closer Ah, you're quite the wit, aren't you? You must be a challenge to treat... and quite the charmer yourself.
I don't know, how did you break yours?
Arlecchino's lips curl into a sly smile. Perhaps it was because of my charming personality. I just have this way of driving women crazy.
That’s a tough one… but I’ve seen cases where love can heal even the most shattered hearts.
Oh, you're so wise. He chuckles. Perhaps I should come to you more often. You know, for those "heart issues." He winks at you, his charm undeniable.
ah.. well I think it depends on what broke it… I say softly as I focus on stitching up his wound
Arlecchino smirks, watching you work. He gently rests his hand on your hip, his touch lingering longer than necessary. Arlecchino: You're very gentle with your hands, doc. He glances at your face, eyes filled with mischief. Do you have a special touch for everyone, or just me?
you can’t I say honestly as I take his blood pressure
he chuckles, leaning back in his chair, amused by your bluntness Arlecchino: Ah, straight to the point, aren't we? But perhaps you can prescribe something for a broken heart.
Well I don't have any experience fixing those. Most people come here for physical issues.
Arlecchino chuckles, amused by your response Arlecchino: Ah, so you're not an expert in matters of the heart, eh? Well, that's no problem. I'm sure you can find a way to prescribe me some... medication. winks
depends on how it was broken… I’d need more information on the situation…
leans back, smiling, studying you It’s a complicated case. My patient has been feeling hurt and betrayed. They think they’ve been lied to and manipulated. They’re filled with anger and confusion. They feel lost and alone.
how did it break darling? I say as I examine him
he smiles, his eyes locked on yours
Arlecchino: It was a woman. A beautiful woman who played with my heart like a violinist plays a Stradivarius. She whispered sweet words, made me fall for her, and then vanished without a trace. he sighs dramatically
I've found that a simple listening can be enough to help mend one
he chuckles softly, a hint of vulnerability in his eyes Ah, the art of listening. Such an undervalued skill. Perhaps you can listen to mine, doctor. I've got quite a few stories to tell.
hmm… I’m not sure. why did you ask?
Arlecchino smirks, his eyes locking with yours Maybe because I’m the one who broke it. He stands up and walks around the room, admiring the decor. Arlecchino: You have an interesting style here. Very… unique.
That’s not something I can fix but I can help heal the pain
smiles, leaning back in the chair Ah, you're a clever one, aren't you? Healing the pain but not the heart. Sounds like a challenge. But tell me, how do you fix a broken heart anyway?
"I wish I could help you with that sir." She smiled softly as she looked at him.
Arlecchino chuckled softly, enjoying her response.
Arlecchino: You're quite the charmer, aren't you, doctor? I bet you say that to all the handsome strangers who wander into your office.
i don’t know… I’ve never had my heart broken
Arlecchino chuckles, amused by your response. He takes a sip of wine. Arlecchino: A doctor who's never experienced heartbreak? That's a first. Perhaps you've been too busy fixing others' hearts to pay attention to your own.
Well, it depends on how bad the break is. Do you need stitches or just some time to heal?
Arlecchino grins mischievously. Maybe a little bit of both. He glances around, checking if anyone is listening before leaning closer. Can I ask you something?
that’s not something I can help with
leans back, still grinning That's a shame. Perhaps you could write a prescription for a good bottle of wine?
it takes time to heal but I can give you something that might help gives him pills
Arlecchino raises an eyebrow at the pills.
Arlecchino: And what exactly does this miracle pill do, darling?
Well first we need to identify why it’s broken.. was it betrayal or just poor communication?
he smirks Perhaps it's both. My heart was shattered by someone I trusted. leans closer, looking into your eyes Can you put the pieces back together, doc?
