OKAY, do you have any more info on the lore of soulmates?? will oikawa get a new soulmate? will reader get a new soulmate?? when oikawa loses his memories, how much memories does he lose? does he remember his teammate's names? and if he can remember (aka; iwa), why is it he can only remember them?
LOL HEHE HIII thanks for the questionssss c; since there’s spoilers below, i’ll put a read more
one soulmate per person! as long as they don’t break your heart then you can live happily with whomever you want
heartbreak side effects include: pounding headaches, migraines, spotty vision, blackouts, fevers, cold sweats, and selective memory loss
soulmate deaths don’t count as heartbreak but similar side effects could occur
selective memory loss = only forgetting your soulmate since they’re the one that hurt you
mutual heartbreak = reset
points 2+4
oikawa forgetting y/n happened gradually and as a way to ground himself, he’d recite things he does remember (teammates, birthday, his name, city, etc). the only thing he couldn’t remember when writing (or “writing”) was y/n’s name.
once the heartbreak began, he would simply just not recognize her notes. as time goes on, he’d be in pain during conversations abt her/remembering her. then forget about it all right after (almost as a defense/coping mechanism).
so the memory loss blocked him from remembering her existence and from creating new memories (ex: him forgetting to write back all the time).
he can’t remember y/n but he can remember experiences (ex: asking kindaichi about that time they supposedly went to Mcdonalds even though it was him and y/n).
point 5
if they both break each other’s hearts then the bond is reset. they forget the other person and thus the selective memory loss is complete bc there’s no more trauma to the soul/heart/brain. at that point, their souls match bc they’ll both be blank!
blank canvas = free to ink all over again.
