Both keys are potentially valuable, but one must be irreparably hurt in order to free another. Or else perhaps both must stay locked together forever, in an embrace that perhaps neither of them would truly want. And of course, we're probably talking about people here... If it was a DnD game, I'd be doing research on all the locks and doors nearby ;) But life itself is almost never that simple. I feel other commenters have missed a core element to your image here.

"If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice." Even if you spare both keys, in order to keep them both alive, then you're condemning them to a pointless existence where they can open no locks. And are you really sparing both keys for their own wellbeing, or for your fear of making the wrong decision?

You can tell by the fact I'm not even trying to add anything... Too stunned. This is my favorite piece so far.
