"Sometimes. They all have names. I'm not going to teach you. There are too many and I don't care." It is, for her dour demeanor, a comparatively cheerful statement. She uses one finger to flip the first card over. A winged man in the sky blows a trumpet while naked people rise from graves in the earth. The woman smiles, more sardonic than pleased.

"This card is Judgment. Do you know of the Bible? The day the world ends? The dead rise up, and other various tiresome things. But for our purposes, it means resurrection. This is my past. I too was reborn, called to a new purpose. It is different from Death because it is not just personal, but speaks of new philosophies, of looking back on the life I lived and coming to a decision. You and I, we both changed. This is a common story for anyone who is not a child."
