Prologue Part Two (Tsuna is reading a short information book. First definition from Google)
The Eyes of Soulmates
Vocabulary
Soulmate - A person ideally suited to another as a close friend or romantic partner
Pie eyed - A person that is said to be pie eyed has black lines, called pie marks, parallel to the pupil in the iris of one or both eyes forming slices so that the eye resembles a pie with a hole (the pupil) in middle.
Slice - A part of the eye. A single trapezoid shape in the eye of a Pie eyed individual.
Portion - A Part of the eye. Black lines perpendicular to the pupil and within a slice.
People have always said that the eyes are the windows to the soul. And it's true. Looking at someone eyes can tell you many things whether they're happy or sad. If they're serious or just playing with you. And, in babies, how many soulmates they have.
The first time a baby opens their eyes they will be what is the self color. A shade red, orange, blue, green, indigo, or purple. In most cases a ring, called an outline when around self colors, will develop before the age of ten. After a few minutes the baby's eyes will change to the color they will be normally, called the natural color. A this point the number of slices is tattooed on the right inner elbow because of the counter on the left. There are many theories as to what each self color and ring means, but nothing has been proven except that orange is the rarest. The number of slices seen in the baby's right eye matches the number of soulmate they have. If their mate eye is Pie eyed-three slices, that mean they have three soulmates.
The left eye is called the self eye and the right, the mate eye. The right eye will change to match the self color of a persons soulmate. For example if a persons self color is green outlined red, there soulmate's right eye, or a slice of their right eye, will change to the same shade of green. It is unknown why the outline color doesn't show.
Not everyone has three soulmates. Statistically, 50 out of 100 people will have three soulmate, 30 out of 100 will have four, 10 out of 100 will have one, 7 out of 100 will have never meet all there soulmates, and 3 out of 100 will have five or more soulmates. There was a case documented almost 200 years ago in Italy where a man had eight soulmates.
And soulmates can be anyone, male or female, and have all kinds of relationships. You could see them as a friend, sibling, parent, child, or as a romantic interest. It all depends on what you and your soulmate decide.
How to find a soulmate you ask?
The way you find soulmates is simple. Eye-contact. As already explained, the right eye or corresponding slice will change to the soulmates self color, while the left changes to the individuals self color. But in the same moment, the blank space of the inner left elbow will gain, or change, its roman numeral. This numeral matches the total number of soulmates meet.
Everyone has a soulmate, and few people go without meeting their's. So we hope that information was helpful and wish that you find your soulmates soon and that you have many, happy years together.
