Dis-Hearten's Disheartening Apology: Introspective Broken Black

Last we left off, we found out that Dis-Hearten has been feeling things that they might not be meant to be feeling! And they are suspecting that these ... emotions for lack of a better word are coming from the Mark itself...
To which Fluttershy proposed the interesting question... If Dis-Hearten can feel what the Mark is feeling... Can the Mark feel what Dis-Hearten is feeling?! Course the question we should really be asking is if this even has greater ramifications for the greater Heartbreak-verse or Heartbreak Prime as a whole?!
Actually, strike that, who cares? That might not even be relevant to this story... Speaking of which... Let's get on with it!

Smol mark, hissing mark, little branding of angst...

Pffff, Fluuuuuttershy! How would this thing know any of that? Or feel any of that? It's an abstract concept that came about in the same way that Heartbreak Prime's branding came about! Maybe a form of living magic. But feelings?

Yeah, Dis-Hearten's most likely right, Fluttershy. That's what this thing is sure to feed on. Right Mark?

... I said, Right, Mark?

Mark... Uhm... You don't look like your usual self... What'cha doing there... Mark?

Mark... You better not be getting any ideas there now...

Ah... Fetlocks. Great. Thanks a lot Fluttershy, now the mark has an idea... Freedom... what would -that- even entail, -what- would even be the cost?

Hope you enjoyed watching a shifting broken heart!
Awww, Fluttershy... they wanted to say this so badly though!
Only six images in this blog post, but that's ok cause I'm gonna see how many more I can do this very night! Will it be two? Will it be three?!
Fooooour? Five?! We'll see!
