Stretch always hated soulmate marks. They were nothing but birthmarks that destroyed all freedom in a monster's love lives. What was so special about it? Shouldn't choosing the monster mean more than 'welp, we're stuck together now!'. Very romantic... When his mark finally glowed, it was when he met his counterpart, Edge. However, Edge was from a universe that didn't have soulmate marks. On the bright side, Edge didn't know they were soulmates. Stretch was determined to keep it that way.
