You can find your heart in your chest and it is protected by the rib cage. The human heart has four chambers; the right atrium, left atrium, right ventricle, and left ventricle.

This line is particularly distressing as ‘mailed’ conjures images of protection. However, these armoured heels that represent the people who should be protecting the children’s hearts, are in fact the ones crushing them - showing the complete perversion of society.
