    Summary

    Adora spent so long using the same mirror on herself whenever Catra wasn't in the room. That mark. It meant Catra. Adora had been so sure. She'd stare at it for minutes at a time and feel warmth bloom in her chest.

    Now that warmth is gone, replaced by something closer to lead. There's someone better waiting for Catra. There's someone who, according to the very system Adora subscribes to, is guaranteed to love her in a way Adora fundamentally cannot.

    With that heartbreaking realization lodged firmly in her throat, she forces out the only word she can. "Oh."

    Friends though they are, Catra and Adora couldn't be more different; the recent marks on their skin are a stark reminder that the universe seems to agree. The simple reality is that Catra will never be Adora's soulmate, nor will Adora ever be Catra's. For most, this reality would be fine.

    It probably even would be fine... if only they weren't so deeply in love.
