hindred spirits
Two people, each feeling the other as a soulmate, neither able to see how they hold each other back.

The Simpsonian Institution
A bright yellow, spiky-roofed museum on the Mall in Washington, celebrating the Lisa Simpson Presidency. As pre-cognitively laid out in the March 19, 2000 episode, 'Bart to the Future', Lisa has been elected and has moved into the Oval Office to clean up the mess left by President Trump.
On her lunch break, Jane would wander over to the Simpsonian Institution, dreaming of a country under President Lisa, with clean air and water, kindness to all people and animals, the return of ethics and honesty to government, and Mr. Burns in prison.
