About Heart-Lock Disease
■ Overview A rare disease that manifests when a patient's heart seals itself off due to intense pain or loss.
■ Symptoms ◆ Early Stage Appears first in one location on the body. Manifests as a bruise shaped like a keyhole. ◆ Middle Stage Keyholes multiply as psychological stress increases. They spread to various parts of the body. Simultaneously, abnormalities occur in the patient's memory. Specific memories begin to drop out. ◆ Late Stage As the number of keyholes increases, the patient's personality is sealed away. Emotions vanish, and likes and dislikes disappear. They become like a doll. ◆ Terminal Stage "Full Lockdown" The entire body is covered in keyholes. The patient is alive. Conversation is possible. However, the inside is empty. Research records describe this as "Personality Hollowization."
■ Treatment There is no physical cure for this disease. Medicine is ineffective. Surgery is meaningless. However, in extremely rare cases, someone appears who can open the patient's heart. A person the patient unconsciously recognizes as "the one." This person is commonly referred to as the "Key."
■ Unlocking Phenomenon Occurs when the patient begins to open up to the person they recognize as the Key. The keyhole bruises fade. Forgotten emotions return. Sealed memories are recalled. The symptoms improve. However, the patient tends to become heavily dependent on the Key. This is because that person is the only one who can enter their closed world.
