The red string with the girl already fizzled out, though? If you read carefully, you’ll see that the red string faded/snapped after their interaction.
Could it be that the red string only shows someone like a love interest, and it disappears if that interest fades? Or could a specific action or choice like a butterfly effect trigger its disappearance? I’d argue that the red string could represent various connections and relationships, but from what we’ve seen, the MC has only ever seen the red string with the male lead (besides the girl of course). So, I don’t think it’s meant to indicate every important connection plus a place like a university meant that the MC could meet a lot of people, it’s hard to believe that the male lead is the only one important connection he’ll make in that setting.
And then, if the red string comes from a past life, could it be a connection that’s carried over from before? If so, does that make the string unchangeable, or can it still evolve depending on the choices the MC makes in the present? If it's really tied to a past connection, it raises the question of whether that bond is unbreakable, or if it could be reshaped with time and if it’s not changeable, this would conflict with how the MC’s red string with the girl just snapped because that moment already challenges the idea that the red string automatically means destiny or a lifelong bond.
Maybe the red string isn’t about destiny at all like what if it’s more about the potential of it? It could appear when there’s a chance for something significant to form, and fade when that possibility fades. Like once that potential is gone (like if one person loses interest or the path between them changes), the string fades. So the red string might be more like a live signal of potential rather than a permanent link. If that’s true, the string could be more fluid, something that changes alongside with MC’s emotions and decisions. It could be that there are other potential red strings that never appeared because of the MC’s choices or timing. The red string might be conditional, only appearing when there’s a spark of possibility, emotional connection, or mutual interest.
Regardless, I am expecting a lot on how it would play out. I hope it’s not just a plot device with no proper explanation.
