The pericardium
a fluid filled sac, almost like
a balloon
protects the heart from creating
friction when beating
namely against the lungs

When the pericardium is
infected
it becomes inflamed, causing
friction, against the
lungs
heart
and pericardium

The friend
an actor in a play, perhaps
infected like the pericardium
friction-inducing
instead of preventing
and soaked with blood
that is not its own.
