Nine of Swords
This is a portrait of sleepless torment. A figure sits up in bed, hands clutching the sheets, nine swords hanging on the wall above, a look of terror on the face, symbolizing anxiety, guilt, and the mental torment of endless worry. The moon outside the window casts a cold light, yet dawn is approaching, as if declaring: The darkness of fear is thick, but it cannot withstand the light of facing it directly. This is the gift of courage, the end of torment, and a pure transition from dread to calm.
