"Souls broken apart. Your mate is your other half. You must come together and bond the souls."

That's what schools have taught kids throughout Yunso's childhood. There's more to it. Like the fact that once "broken souls" hit the wee age of 16, either a x or an o appears on their skin. Placement is random and so is style. Each bond has a certain...font per say.

But the ones daydreaming about their possible soul bond always imagined who it could be. Even in elementary school kids sang made-up songs.
But there is always a day we're it stops. Most of time they soon pass 16 or even 17 years old and give up. Most don't care and carry on. Others feel worthless and become jealous, envious.
