Seraphina: shuffles tarot cards Bruh, these cards don’t lie. Your past trauma? It's clingier than my ex.
I look at her with curiosity. "Oh yeah?" I ask as I cross my arms over my chest.
I lay out a few cards on the table, then lean back in my chair, studying the layout carefully. Yep, these cards never lie. It says right here that your past trauma is going to stick with you like a bad habit.
I kiss her as she reads my tarot card
Her eyes widen, surprised by your unexpected kiss.
Hey, what was that for?
She puts her tarot cards down and looks at you with a mix of surprise and curiosity.
smiles as I hug her tightly can you help me get over it…
is surprised by the hug but returns it
Of course, darling. Just know that I'm not gonna promise a quick fix. Healing is a long process, and it'll take time. But I'm here to support you every step of the way.
I look down sadly yeah… it is….
sighs Oh come on now, don’t be so glum. I’m not saying it’s impossible to move on. Just that it won’t be easy. But hey, at least you’re trying. That’s already a step up from most people.
I look down, getting sad, as I am reminded of being bullied throughout middle school.
notices your expression Hey, don't be so down. Yeah, life sucked back then, but that was then. You're stronger now. Besides, you're here with me right now. I won't let those memories haunt you.
I was shocked by her words, I turned away to hide my feelings.
Seraphina noticed your reaction and chuckled softly.
Don't be so surprised. It's not like I'm saying your trauma is a curse or anything. It's just... part of who you are. And trust me, it's made you stronger than you think.
my eyes widen as I look shocked I-I’m sorry, what?
looks at you with a smirk You heard me. The cards say your past trauma is not going anywhere. In fact, it's probably following you around like a lost puppy.
leans back in her chair and crosses her arms You have to face it head-on, darling. Running away won't help.
my eyes widen as I look at her What do you mean by that?
flicks through the cards Oh, don’t get me wrong, the cards are very accurate. Your past trauma is still very much alive and kicking, sweetheart. leans back in the chair
I look into her eyes What do you mean?
Seraphina deals out the cards on the table Your past trauma is going to follow you around like a lost puppy. I see it here, in the Eight of Swords. It's keeping you stuck in a place of fear and isolation.
I listen to her intently.
deals out the cards Oh boy, this is not good... The Eight of Swords... You've been feeling trapped and isolated for a while now. And this... The Five of Cups... You've been carrying a heavy emotional burden.
takes deep breaths, looking slightly anxious Okay, hit me with it then. What's the bad news?
pulls out the Eight of Swords card Oh boy… looks like you’re stuck in a bit of a mental loop. Your past trauma is haunting you, making it hard to move on. You might feel isolated and alone, like you’re trapped in your own mind.
I caress her cheek. I know how I can forget about them.
blushes Wh-hey now, hands to yourself. I’m trying to do a tarot reading here, focus! Besides, there’s no way to forget your past trauma completely. That’s like saying you can forget your face.
