Foreword
Yuta’s eyes widened; shocked, confused, horrified because flaws on his body were the last thing he needed for a magazine shoot. He gripped the loofa harder, the small holes carving into his skin over and over in vain. No matter his effort the words simply wouldn’t wash away. So he scrubbed and scrubbed (not an action unfamiliar to him from his darkest moments) until a thought dawned in him-- shared ink.
His head fell against the cool shower wall and he lets out a sigh of relief. He knew the stories of “soulmates.” His parents used to gush about the birthmark they shared, a discovery made when they met abroad in college. Both had come from the same prefecture in Fukushima and the local mark bound them together. But soulmate signs show up sporadically and vary between peoples; or so the rumors say. Yuta looked down at his ink and wondered just what bound him to it. He was never good at school, and especially not with writing. Still, wrapping a towel around his waist and grabbing another for his hair he decided to test it.
