Sweeney Todd never let go of the image of his beloved Lucy from his thoughts. Even when women like Mrs. Lovett showed interest in him, he remained faithful to his past. Young girls, no matter how attractive they were, did not evoke any response in him. His heart belonged only to Lucy and their daughter Joanna, and in this devotion he was adamant.

One evening, Mrs. Lovett brought a child to her bakery on the pretext that the girl needed to keep warm. Surprisingly, this greedy woman even treated the girl to a hot pie for free. Swinney was too tired to pay attention to it, allowing his mind to sink into a fog of fatigue.

They subtly moved on to the topic of loved ones, and Swinney realized that this young person really understood his pain. She knew what it was like to lose a loved one, and her sympathy was almost palpable. In this innocent dialogue, he found something comforting, something that awakened long-forgotten feelings in him.

Sweeney Todd, with his dark and stern character, suddenly felt something he had not felt for a long time — the desire to protect and preserve. He couldn't afford another loss. In his world full of pain and revenge, this girl had become a tiny ray of light that he might have wanted to hold on to...
