Chapter Text
Neo didn't like thinking about her second mark.
She had one for Roman, of course. Once they realized they were meant for each other, they would make jokes about it, her mocking him for thinking that not having one meant he was destined to be alone, and him making fun of her for being a rich girl destined to end up with a hardened criminal.
But the other one... well. She and Roman did their best to ignore it, and its implications on their future.
Once upon a time, when they were separate people in separate bodies - before cohabiting the same brain and eventually integrating as the same person - it had been Neo's, while dear Roman's mark was Trivia's. Not that that mattered much to her, now. Part of the reason their personalities had come back together was because they both loved Roman.
"Whatever you wanted, I hope it was worth it." in a silly blood red color. Now and again, in her weaker moments, she would wonder about it. Plenty of people had red as a color, of course, but that red was pretty specific in her life. Red like blood, red like roses. Red like Ruby.
That couldn't be it, though. She hated Red. She had given up on everything else her life had left to get the little shit. You couldn't have a soulmate who killed your other soulmate, right? Right.
(Not that having two soulmates was all that precedented to start. Roman, thankfully, had no mark at all. That meant he was hers. And no one she had ever found on the CCT mentioned having two, even the few other people she had seen claim to have multiple personalities in the same head.
Neo was special, and cursed.)
