Bloom

Each person is born with a flower. It is this flower that comes into bloom when we meet our soulmate. Whenever they walk past it, it'll bloom brighter and more beautiful than ever before, a sure-fire way to locate our true love. Sadly, the flowers do not tell their owner who their soulmate is, leaving many people unable to find the one they are supposed to end up with. Other times, people are born with their flowers already in bloom or unable to bloom at all, leaving many to believe their love is wrong, preventing them from seeking out their lovers. The rules of the flower are quite simple:

Rule 1 - Both parties must remember the meeting of their soulmate for their flowers to bloom.

Rule 2 - The flower dies if either one or both parties refuse to admit they have a soulmate/refuse to accept their certain soulmate.

Rule 3 - If your soulmate dies, your flower will not die until you know they are dead. If you are able to accept it, you may be assigned another soulmate.

People were taught this as if it were the very facts their world was founded upon, which for the most part was true. However, many others rejected this, calling it out as folk tales or complete bullshit. These coincidently had flowers that wouldn't bloom and died after the meeting with their soulmates.
