Heart sight when hear about the possibility connection between Scimitars and Almanacs. "Man, why there people who want to make that kind of connection to cause pain and destruction. There is something a wise man once say: "Power always corrupt. And absolute power is absolutely corruptor." Or something like that. Crime organizations always exist: Team Rocket, Team Magma and Aqua, Team Plasma. Some of them begin with noble cause, but when they get a great power, they became corrupt and twisted. A shadow of a old self."

"Humanity have many flaws. They born with darkness and light inside. Good and evil. A white shadow and a black shadow. And everyday that two sides fight against each other." Heart stop a little and see his own image in some water. "Some more than others." Then he made such different face. Almost regret and... sadness. But he decided to stop that.

"But inside of each one there is the power to change. And to have hope. As much there might have a swamp filled with doubts, there might have a garden with something better: A better future. At least this is what my soul says." And Heart finish his monologue with mantra phrase.

True, Shiva would agree that great power can easily corrupt: Team Plasma could be so noble on their beliefs and attitude of leaving Pokemon to live in freedom, when here wasn't Ghetsis and his eager to rule the region as the only remaining one owning Pokemon...

Not feeling like sharing thoughts anymore does not collide with listening what was shared furthermore, so she continued soaking up the words the PUNisher spoke. That means she does catch up his sudden change in mood from normal and jolly to....if she wasn't mistaken....sadness. Regret. Pain. Something's simply not okay, was this an inner conflict that he was struggling with? What was the issue, what may be wrong? ...Slightly frowning, she realized she actually doesn't know that much about this guy with the Axew that Professor Mallorn once brought to them.

The power to change...dormant within each of us. It reminded Shiva on that Earthpower, on the things the Tusk's eremit said, on that 'natural strength' that was present within everyone, connecting every living being. That meant...present within her as well, as fragile she sometimes was - this caused her to silently agree to Heart's words about even within the swamp of doubt, there may be garden of hope. A nice metaphor. It gave her hope to not fall succumb to her own shadows.

"Such nice words, Heart... H-however... How can a shadow be white?" She doesn't comment on his decrease in mood as he stopped it himself already as she'd find it disrespectful, but she playfully hits him on the shoulder again.

Shiva also remains silent as Nathan was audibly wondering about the cave paintings, and opted to continue her investigation of the Candelabra. Though she knew cave or paintings rarely provide direct answers.
