While the answer tends to change a bit depending on the verse (in some cases, she’s more cynical or jaded than others), as a rule of thumb Melissa generally believes (and adores!) the idea of soulmates and is a fierce matchmaker (it’s a hobby she’s extremely dedicated to, and which can get intense and very annoying for the other parties involved). The funny thing is - usually she is not a keen believer of that applying to her own fate.

And yet, that happens more frequently than she would care to admit. The soulmate idea is a running joke between @dojimakaichou and myself, actually; we have so many different verses written out for them and the way they always manage to find each other has been teased in character in a recent meme reply, even. XD But even in her original FFVII verse (where she owns a brothel and should be someone disillusioned in relation to love and soulmates given her profession and work environment), it still happened rather routinely and it took her by surprise every. Single. Time.

So, long story short: Melissa believes in soulmates and frequently gets a happy ending with hers, much to her amazement, haha.

  ❝ –  SHE'S GROWING SO FAST. ❞ her words are warm, her eyes that her worst enemies would compare to harsh elements such as ice or steel appear gentle, the lights inside NEW SERENA have them appear like the colour of moonlight on the sea's surface, as calm as such... who would of thought the fearsome DRAGON OF DOJIMA brought out such calm in her, one would argue it was the wine. her eyes scan over the photo of HARUKA, KIRYU has entrusted her with, she didn't let it go over her head such a simple act was quite the show ot trust from the ex-yakuza, a moment of vulnerability where his weakness was on show for her to see. a dragon has their soft underbellies, the most feared man in kamurocho had his daughter. she brings the rim of the glass to her lips, sipping as KIRYU puts his wallet away in his breast pocket, a soft hum to her comment that was equally as warm as her words, was that the smallest of lifts at the corner of his mouth?

THE OLDER MAN'S WORDS WERE ENOUGH TO WARRANT A SNORT. The feeling was mutual; never had Ryuji imagined he would survive what was meant to be their "fight to the death" — only one dragon was meant to be left standing. The both of them were never meant to leave their chosen battlefield alive . . . And yet, there they both were.

Hell, truthfully, even after Ryuji had made his miraculous recovery following his expulsion from the Omi Alliance sans an arm, never would he have imagined he would find himself face to face with who could very well be the cause of the loss of his old life. But that wouldn't be an honest assessment of his thoughts on the matter, would it?

     ❝ ⸺ Damn well like seein' a ghost, ain't it? ❞

He had dug his own grave. The former dragon was more than fully aware of the consequences of his actions, and if nothing else, Kiryu had given him the wakeup call he needed to move on with his new life. There was an unmistakable sense of gratitude towards his elder.

Despite it all, Kiryu was met with a hint of a grin.
