Aww, they are cute. Ok, I had to look up that other cultures use the left pinky finger for wedding rings. This confused me at first because I’ve only ever seen it located on the left middle finger that is common in America.
I read someone saying the red string attaches to the pinky because blood flows through the Ulnar artery carrying oxygen down the arm to the pinky, with the red string thought to extend from one’s heart.
The Japanese version of the myth, someone says, refers to red strings connecting all people who’s fates will meet at points, starting a red fabric which we weave through out or lives, forming a scarlet tapestry.
About rings, I noticed Abeille wears a ring on her index finger at the start of the story, and Botan wears a ring on his index finger on his first date with Clove. I suppose lovers do manipulate each other, willingly.
Yes, I’m replying to the author about her own story. I mentioned the scarlet tapestry idea to someone and they said it reminded them of Kintsugi, which is a method of repairing pottery, with a philosophy that treats damage as part of an object’s history, rather than something to be disguised. Or they were calling me a crackpot.
I understand what you meant!
If you hold up the fingers on the hand, there’s four of them, and that means there’s two in the middle – sharing the middle if you like – so of those two middle fingers of the left hand, it’s the left middle finger, not the right middle finger 😉

The choice to put the rings on the pinky fingers was also a nod to the myth of the red thread of fate attaching lovers by their pinky fingers.

Americans wear it on their left ring finger, not the left middle finger.

Eep, typo in my last comment hahaha! I meant the fourth finger but it’s called the ring finger. Oops.
