I don't remember the beginning, but did he ever "confirm" that the strings he sees are people's"gated partners"? I not it could be for potential best friends or something else..? :')
I know about the red string of fate, but I was questioning whether he ever confirmed for himself that the ones he can see are for destined lovers?
I've seen authors take their own spin on it and show not lovers but other relationships, and was wondering if that may have been the case here as well.
