The Red String Theory. Everyone knew it. The red string around the ring finger was persistent. Tugging you if you were close to your soulmate and breaking if you met your soulmate. Usually, there would be a Red String Festival all across the country. 15-20 year old girls would go and men of any age and they would find their other half.

You were from a noble family. Hair as black as the night, skin as pale as jasmines and lips as red as cherries. Your parents met in the red string festival and that's where their string broke. Your older brother just got married to his own soulmate, he found her on last year's festival. Now it's your turn.

You wear a beautiful kimono, wear your hair in a beautiful braid and go to the festival. It's been an hour and you haven't found your soulmate yet so you are currently trying to win a game to win a stuffed panda.
