My Shadow Card: The Lovers
Minor Arcana: 5 of Swords - Someone on the street recognizes you. How do they react when they see you?
Major Arcana: The Tower
Act 1, Card 3: Scars: The Past and Shadow
Cobblestones lie beneath my feet, worn smooth by forgotten dreams. Sunlight spears through gaps in the town's roofs, casting shadows on the streets.
A sharp voice echoes through the haze. "You." It's a woman, barely more than a ghost, her face etched in emotions—surprise, anger, things familiar to me. The 5 of Swords hangs heavy, its blades glinting with the threat of unhealed wounds.
My chest tightens, memories reach for the edges of my mind. But the woman's name, her story, never come close enough to capture.
"Do you remember me?" Her voice trembles.
The question lands like a heavyweight jab, and guilt washes over me. "I... I'm sorry," I croak. "I can't."
A tear escapes the woman's eye, mirroring the ache in my chest. In that tear, the Tower crumbles. It reveals lost loves, bitter conflicts, and battles fought and lost. The Lovers stir beside me, their embrace tightening like a lifeline. They offer understanding. In their silence, I see my struggle.
The Tower's fall is a beginning, a turning point. The 5 of Swords suggests a fight, a refusal to surrender to shadows.
With newfound strength, I face the woman. "Tell me," I say, "who are you? What do we mean to each other?"
The sun dips below the horizon. A story unfolds—a story woven from fragments of memory, threads of pain, and the glimmer of hope.
