Okay, I’m going to counterargue your head vs heart theory:

Here's a quote from Flashback. "Sophie commanded her heart not to do any flips. But when it came to Fitz, her heart never listened." Does that really suggest that Sophie only likes Fitz in her head? (I was told that her mind made her heart do it, but If she told her heart not to flip and it did, then her mind is not controlling her heart) 'Because that’s her heart organ''. The head vs heart isn’t actually talking about the organ, but the subconscious emotions that are actually housed in your head. We just say head vs heart because it’s easier that way.'''

Wait, so Sophie's echo affected her head, right? And any strong head emotions would have triggered the monster. And she still had the echo when she and Fitz told one another about their crushes on one another, and she was definitely feeling strong emotions then. So doesn't that mean that Sophie's emotions for Fitz are in her heart?'''Im confused about the way you worded this, are you saying she did or did not have the monster when talking to Fitz? Sorry, I just need clarification.'''

Also, Fitz's echo WAS affected by it, and his echo was in his heart. So that situation cause heart emotions. Hmm...'Again, it was in the organ heart.'' When I talk about head vs heart, I’m talking about subconscious emotions, not the actual heart. And Fitz was hit in the organ.'''

Okay, so remember when Fitz and Sophie were training to be cognates and they learned to read one another's emotions? So those were pretty clearly Head emotions, right? BUT SOPHIE DIDN'T DETECT FITZ'S CRUSH ON HER!!!!! So maybe that means that Fitz likes Sophie with his Heart!!! YAAAAYYYYYY!!!!!!!'Fitz started liking Sophie after'' the arthopleura incident. And correct me if I’m wrong, but the emotion thing was before that.'''

Also, if we're going with the Head vs. Heart thing, I think Fitz likes Sophie in his heart and he became aware when he was stabbed in the chest by the arthropleura. Again, that’s the organ.

Why would head emotions be stronger than Heart emotions in the first place? Like, how come you can't recognize your heart emotions as easily?'''Theyre the same. Neither is stronger, but if Sophie likes Keefe in her heart emotions, then there’s a tie and I’m rooting for Sokeefe.'''

Please don’t be offended, I just saw some holes in your theory and I wanted to counterargue them.
