Six of Swords
Flight isn't cowardice, but common sense. Six swords in the boat as memory of what was, but ahead the water's quieter. The past doesn't disappear, but distance makes it more bearable.
Boat won't depart—stuck in the mud of the past. Escape canceled, transition aborted. Either fear of the unknown is stronger than pain of the familiar, or circumstances won't let you go. Treading in swamp as choice.
Boat leaving shore. Swords with you, but water's already calmer. Transition with no illusion of return.
