From the children’s abridged version I was reading to my kids once:

“They walked away with heavy hearts.”

Yes. Thank you. It's proven.
Also, during all that cultural/literary nitpicking and ouroboros (yes, I looked up how to spell that) of pop meta-analysis of who was the real monster, really, how did I miss until right now- the question of what he'd *want* to be called?

Ahhhh. Someone in a lit crit essay suggested "Adam" since he references that earlier in the book.

Hmm, that's one loaded, inherited name to another.
I still think you fixed it. With that missing version you found. Gold star.
