For fairness and loyalty, however important to the head, were issues that could seldom be squared in the human heart, at the deepest depths of which lay the mystery of affection, of love, which you either felt or you didn't, pure as instinct, which seized you, not the other way around, making a mockery of words like "should" and "ought". The human heart, where compromise could not be struck, not ever. Where transgressions exacted a terrible price. Where tangled black limbs fell. Where the boom got lowered.

The essence of human emotions often complicates the ideals of fairness and loyalty. While these values are significant to leaders and heads of families, the human heart frequently resists any logic that defines them. Instead, affection and love emerge organically, akin to a powerful instinct, overpowering any preconceived notions of duty or expectation. This highlights a profound disconnect between emotions and moral obligations.

The heart is a realm where compromise is unattainable, and violations of trust carry heavy consequences. The imagery of tangled black limbs and the lowering of the boom reflects the inevitable fallout from such emotional transgressions. Russo illustrates that while societal expectations may dictate certain behaviors, the raw, instinctual nature of love and attachment cannot be easily governed or understood.
