Not everyone is comfortable in the realm of emotion. Take the adorably diffident girl with shaggy red hair who says, in a heart-shaped word bubble: “There’s this thing I really like. I would like to like it even more.” She can’t utter that loaded word, and she looks for it in all the wrong places. Only when she gives up does a boy with a heart-shaped balloon arrive. It’s a refreshing reminder that it can be hard to ask for what we want and that even introverts need love above all.
