Born to Be Yours

Universe crafted by @questioningexistence

In this futuristic world, everyone has the first name of their soulmate inscribed on their arm at birth. People tend to only date those possessing the name on their arm, but it is impossible to know which is the right one. If you marry your true soulmate, the name on your arm will light up, but if you don't, divorce is prohibited, so you only have one shot at marrying the right person. If your soulmate marries the wrong person, their name will disappear from your arm; those that see this happen unfortunately tend to commit suicide. The success rate of this system is actually very high, but when it goes wrong, it's absolutely terrible...and that's what this story focuses on. It explores the idea of: what happens if you mess up your one shot at getting your soulmate? And what happens if (and this is thought of as impossible, laughably so) the name on your arm is wrong - or if there isn't one at all?
