A lot of people love the idea of meeting their special someone. With soulmates, people are already destined to meet certain people. Having their partner's represented flower marked onto their skin, that's when excitement begins as relationships build up. In Shikamaru's opinion though, he believes it's a stupid system. Why should love be assigned? How does this simple system know who's perfect for the other? It just doesn't make sense to him and he hopes to avoid meeting his so-called "soulmate."
