There was no known way to reject or discard a sync partner forever. Even if a person didn't want to accept a particular sync partner, they couldn't shut down their brain's matched wavelength with the person.
Being in the constant presence of a sync partner strengthened the bond and without realizing it, room for attraction would be made.
It was best to keep away from a sync partner one did not want to bond with. Preferably moving to another city entirely where their traces could not be found.
Eventually, the body and mind might adjust to the absence of a sync partner. But if one was in the presence of their sync partner for a long time without completely syncing, both sides would face adverse effects.
That was one thing Neo did not want to put himself through. Which was why he needed to cut off communication from his sync partners soon. Even thinking about cutting off the people destined to complete him left a strange discomfort in his chest. But it was something he had to do.
