Brightly painted Pluto
The last Pluto image before New Horizons went silent and got down to the business of taking close-up fly-by pictures showed the "heart", or as it is being re-imagined, the "dog Pluto":
(I've posted it upside down to mess with your pareidolia)
The LORRI camera specialises in high resolution, but is only monochrome. The Ralph camera is lower resolution, but can detect colours. An exaggerated-colour view of Pluto shows the heart is not a single feature, but two. The dog's muzzle is much bluer than the head.
It really looks to me like the light regions are flowing from the hidden winter hemisphere over the equator to the summer hemisphere. I suppose it can't be doing that every Pluto year, because although the light areas have fewer craters than the dark equator band, they haven't got none, and it would take more than a hundred years or so to collect that number of impacts.
