“anyway, the gods were afraid the humans would challenge them and defeat them. So the gods struck the humans with lightning, splitting each in half. Not only were their physical bodies separated, but their souls were also cleaved into two. From that day on, each human felt the loss of their matching half. They would weep and bleed from the wound, and they spent the rest of their lives doomed to search eternally for the other half who would make them whole again.”
