What a beautiful puzzle design! Love the arrow through the heart. Some really great logic as well with 13/14 totals for the line segments and cages.
Thanks for setting Blobz!

Thank you for this great puzzle, Blobz! the 13/14 sum line is an amazing idea. Was it used before or did you introduce it with this puzzle? I have to admit I was a little stuck in the beginning, but then noticed a nice implication of the arrow. With the pencil marks that I had noted before, the solve finished in one smooth flow. Thank you for setting and sharing!

I used a similar idea in "I Am Groot -- Preteen" using 11 and 12 as the ambiguous sums. I have not seen it elsewhere.
