Before understanding,
there is separation.

The Ace of Blades appears
when illusion can no longer hold.

This is not cruelty.

It is precision.

A single cut
that exposes what was already divided.

When this card appears,
something must be named
exactly as it is.

Hesitation dulls the edge.

Honesty sharpens it.

Speak cleanly.

Act deliberately.

The blade does not argue.

It reveals.

Truth prefers a steady hand.
