Swords • 4
Four of Swords
Retreat as strategy, rest as necessity. Three swords on the wall, one beneath the body—battle postponed, not canceled. Silence heals better than words, emptiness better than bustle.
Rest disrupted ahead of time. Returning to battle on wobbly legs. Rest was an illusion or simply not allowed to finish—the world doesn't wait until you're ready.
A respite in the temple of thoughts. Not death, but pause—temporary surrender before chaos.
