Indicator
This clue's indicators are 'back', 'after', and 'heart to heart exchange with'.

'back' is a reversal indicator (possibly aided by leveraging its connection with 'Pulls' which enhances that sense of reversing). And 'after' is simply suggesting an order of operations: apply one indicator and then apply the other afterwards.
