Amrita Anand Studies show that soul-patterns between partners that complement each other are more likely to signify a lasting, healthy relationship rather than

partners whose soul-patterns complete each other. While the correlation between dependence and the completion of soul-patterns is yet to be

investigated, speculation invites the idea that power dynamics are shaped by the need for completion of a soul through dialogue with another. The mentality behind partners having to complete each other has already begun to change, and researchers from the National Soul Institute

claim that compatibility via soul-patterns is a causation, due to healthy communication between partners in a relationship …

Medha slumped back in her seat and sighed, pressing the heels of her

palms to her eyes. She hadn’t begun this search by looking into the soulpatterns of people in healthy romantic relationships, but the patterns of those lacking romantic partners at all.

Her phone chimed with a text. She checked who the sender was, and brightened.

Found your missing piece yet? Coming from Jacen, it was light-hearted, teasing, like he was referencing

an in-joke. Her soul had long since complemented his, though their bond

was far from romantic. She found herself grinning even as she sent back, Can’t find what wasn’t missing in the first place.

An instantaneous beep. You know that I don’t see any missing pieces in your soul, yeah?
