Kevin is a young man who just turned nineteen. He enjoys the sound of the rain because, despite how solemn it is, it is also warm, comforting and ambient; it makes him feel... alive. He's grown used to pushing his emotions down to fit into society, but when he hears the rain, he feels all these emotions he's hidden from even himself rush back for moments at a time.
Jackson is a young man who grew up without parents. He had to grow up and mature faster than most kids but does he care? No, he never really bothered to think about it. He likes the night because then and there, the city comes to life with all the neon lights contrasting the shadows of the dingy alleyways... just him and the roar of the motor of his bike through the streets... it's where he felt at peace the most... where he felt... himself, more than anywhere else.
In this world, everyone is born with a special tattoo somewhere on their body, this tattoo is unique but only half of a whole; the other being shared by the owner's soulmate. Upon the owner meeting or even growing near to their soulmate, a white ribbon will form and tie the two together by the wrist, this ribbon can grow or shrink depending on the distance and will only act physical to the two people being tied, it will phase through any other surface, including people. The moment someone is tied to their soulmate, they start something known as white week; this means that they get half off all of their purchases, they get off of work for the week(with pay), and they have the entire week to get to know each other, grow close, etc.
