Heavy heart
The sculpture of Ka's father that she made of him as an appreciation of his difficult past inspires him to come clean about the truth. He throws the sculpture away and makes Ka recollect the Egyptian stories he used to read to her. One story in particular deals with the judgment of the dead and how the heart is put on a scale. If the heart is too heavy then the dead can't enter the afterlife. Ka's father's heart is too heavy for leading a life based on lies, and he decides to tell his daughter the truth.
Good angels
His wife and his daughter Ka are good angels to the dew breaker, and he doesn't waste a moment to remind them of that. They keep him on the right track, and they helped him deal with the past. Despite on the surface being a positive thing, labeling loved ones as angels or rescuers puts a lot of pressure on them to put your well-being and you on the first place, finding excuses and neglecting themselves, as shown in the case of his wife Anne, who, at the end, discovers herself lost in the entanglement of lies and fear.
Noose of love
The Haitian couple from the story "Seven" reunites after seven years of separation. After a while, they discover that the magic is gone and that an endless silence has fallen upon them. They dream of renewing their marriage in this country where no one knows them, of finding a stranger to tie a noose of love around their necks.
