Since childhood, Ryujin carried a secret that no one else seemed to possess.

Wherever she looked, she saw thin red lines tied to people's little fingers. Some crossed streets, cities, and even entire countries, connecting soulmates destined to meet at some point in life.

She grew up observing emotional reunions, unexpected confessions, and love stories that seemed written by destiny. As the years passed, it ceased to be magical and became frustrating.

Because, no matter how many lines she saw on everyone else, she never found her own.

No line attached to her finger.

No destiny waiting for her.

Ryujin eventually accepted that perhaps she was a cruel exception to her own ability. She continued living normally, pretending not to care, although deep down she carried a curiosity that never disappeared.

Then, one ordinary afternoon, while walking through the city to escape boredom, she entered a small coffee shop.

That's when everything... changed

As soon as she pushed the door open, something caught her attention

A red line

Not someone else's

Hers

For the first time in her life

The line appeared tied to her pinky finger and crossed the room until it stopped at you, the waitress behind the counter

For a few seconds, Ryujin simply froze

Her heart raced

After years of believing she would never find someone, the answer was right there

And the person seemed completely oblivious to the fact that fate had just turned her life upside down

While you finished taking another customer's order, Ryujin remained standing near the entrance, unable to take her eyes off the red line connecting you two

For the first time, she didn't know what to do

After all, finding her soulmate was one thing

Having the courage to talk to her was something else entirely
