Now that we've had some distance from the horrors...I used to wonder how we came up with the heart symbol. You know, like this. [He holds up both hands, thumbs and forefingers pressed together to form a <3 shape.] Doesn't look remotely like a real heart, so it had to come from somewhere.

It started with a fig or ivy leaf - if you squint, you can see it here-- [he holds up a book, and on one page, a fig leaf; he flips forward a few pages, and shows an ivy leaf] See? People were using these in art, as early as...I think the third millennium B.C.E., and by the middle ages, people had turned a leaf into a symbol of romantic, courtly love.

[He shrugs, then reaches forward - not to the device, but to his computer. He fiddles for a moment, then pulls the communicator down so that it gets a view of his computer screen.]

This is a cardioid. Actually, you could call it a lot of things, but it boils down to math being romantic. Happy Valentine's Day, I guess, a little late.

[And a couple hours later, he will add with none of the earlier levity,] David's disappeared. I assume his friends already realized. I'm sorry I didn't say something sooner.

[Private to Regina]

So...Can we just forget that whole thing happened?

[Private to Cissie]

Two years ago today. [Why yes, he's being vague to catch your attention.]

I always thought it came from a baboon's backside, because they look like hearts, and they're bright red to attract a mate.

That's kind of depressing. The background of modern romance is a monkey's butt.

I'm gonna stick with leaves, I think.

It would explain a lot.

Only you would find math romantic.

One day you're going to say that, and then a beautiful girl is going to say, 'Hey, I think math's romantic, too!' And then you won't be invited to our wedding.

You wouldn't!

Forget what? That that freak Arthas made us break up?

More like the 'let's date after one conversation' thing.

I do enjoy how it comes around to the point it began. Not so much a hopeless cycle, but a comfortable repetition of when things begin between two similar bodies.

I think that's the most romantic thing you've ever said, Doctor.

Well I wouldn't want people to get the wrong idea.

Happy Valentine's Day. Nerd.

Come on, you have nothing against nerds.

I actually think you're in a different category if you can nerd it up and beat up multiple goons simultaneously. Overachiever, maybe.

Oh, that's lovely! How fascinating.

I've always said math is pretty cool. There are others, actually...hang on--

That's an implicit heart curve.
