When the occupant was a child, they thought that the heart and time were bound together.

Adenosine is injected into the vein first, followed immediately by saline. The occupant’s heart stops for a few seconds, drawing a straight horizontal line. And then it restarts properly and the occupant’s rebooted body functions again. The occupant’s illness or disorder is on/off, a mechanistic loss and gain. A measurable graph: correct sinus rhythm, abnormal rhythm, no rhythm at all, correct sinus rhythm.

The occupant’s heart is a treacherous stranger, familiar, lover, monster, muscle, the occupant themselves.
