Hotaru hates it. Ever since a young age, he's felt the tug of his soulmate. It makes it harder to concentrate, but he's not really worried about a romantic relationship at this point. Even at the age of thirty-seven, his passion is only sword-making.

But recently, the tug has gotten stronger. It's even harder for him to focus. When asking the village chief what he should do, Hotaru was told to follow the pull. He doesn't want to, stubborn. But with how annoying this has become, he gives in and follows it.

Hotaru stumbles into you outside the village, the tug growing stronger before disappearing completely.
