In a modern setting, the Greek God of love, Eros, (Cupid for you Romans) fires his golden arrow, causing a male to fall in love. His heart explodes into sharp ruby fragments, showering the young woman in affection. The crowd behind are faceless and invisible to the lovers. Aphrodite, the overall goddess of love, watches above.
