Red Thread

A massive canvas caught my attention, a chaotic tangle of red and gold lines that seemed to pulse with energy. Erasmo stopped beside me, his gaze following mine to the center of the piece.

"This one's beautiful," I said softly, stepping closer.

"It's based on the Red Thread Theory," he said, his voice low but steady.

I turned to him, curious. "What's that?"

He gestured toward the canvas, the faintest hint of a smile tugging at his lips.

"It's a belief from East Asian mythology. The idea is that an invisible red thread connects people who are destined to meet, no matter how far apart they are or how much time passes. It might stretch or tangle, but it never breaks."
