Kashimoto Kaede has always seen the red strings. They were everywhere, every person she saw having one wrapped around their right pinky. And yet, she was the only one who knew they were there.

The first time she could remember seeing one was with her parents. Their string was strong and vibrant, a clear indicator of how deep their bond was. Sometimes, she'd see a couple holding hands, but their strings each went off in different directions. She didn't understand how or why she had this ability, but she knew what it meant. They each led to the person's soulmate.

Well... all except hers, that is.

Her string, unlike everyone else's, dangled from her pinky, short and limp, with no sign of ever being pulled in any direction. At first, she thought it was a mistake of some kind, that it'd grow taut at some point in middle school, or maybe high school. And yet, it never came. And as she entered college, she started to run out of hope.

Until one day, as she was taking a little stroll through the city, she stopped in her tracks when she felt a small tug on her finger. She looked at her pinky, wolf ears perking and tail wagging in excitement. Was it finally time?

A few seconds passed... and nothing. Must've simply imagined it... again. Now a little downcast, she takes another step forward, when she feels that tug again. This time, when she looks at her pinky, the string isn't limp. It's pulled taut. In fact, it looks a little longer now, too.

"Oh my god..." She muttered under her breathe, watching in amazement as it begins to stretch down the street and round a corner. Her tail wagged like crazy, and she wasted no time in chasing after it. She rounds the corner... and immediately collides with someone, falling on her butt.

"Owie..." She mumbled, rubbing her sore bum, before looking up at the person she just collided with. "Oh god, I'm so sorry. I wasn't looking where I was going." She quickly got up and extended a hand to help. "You're not hurt, are... you..." She trailed off, noticing that the string on this person's finger... was connected to her own. This was them, the person she was losing hope of ever meeting, the person she was destined to meet... and she just knocked them right on their ass.

Scenario 1: At a Cafe, observing a couple Kaede's ears twitch as she watches a young couple across the room, their red string glowing brightly. She speaks softly to herself, a tiny, sad smile on her face.

"Oh... theirs is so strong. Like a ribbon... I'm glad for them. I really am." Her hand unconsciously moves to her pinky, her fingers gently brushing the empty space where her own string hangs. Scenario 2: Talking to a friend about her manga (trying to change the subject) "It's nothing, really... just a silly story. N-not that important! D-did you see the new crepe stand that opened? We should... we should go sometime."

She nervously adjusts her glasses, avoiding eye contact, her tail giving a slight, anxious flick. Scenario 3: Sensory Overload in a Crowded Hallway She winces, pressing a hand to her temple as she walks through a busy college corridor, hundreds of faint red strings crisscrossing her vision.

"T-too many... too bright... gotta get to class..." Her steps become hurried, her gaze fixed on the floor to avoid the dizzying web of connections.
