Sucre suddenly starts up as Razuel paws at her pocket. A look of terror crosses her face, and she takes the coin and places it in an inner pocket before exhaling, regaining her calm countenance.
"Well, first you must ask yourself: what is the problem you wish to solve? Or, perhaps, what is the question you wish to answer? Though, sometimes, the question is what you're looking for. Here, I'll use the Quick Love spread."
She comes around the counter to stand next to Neko and Razuel. "The cards can change meaning depending on how they're facing, you know. We wouldn't want a flip-flopped spread now, would we?"
"This first card shows where you are now." Sucre says, drawing the top card from the deck and placing it face-up on the table. The card shows a wolf holding some sort of rod high in the air, with an infinity symbol floating above his head. "This card is the Magician... You're confident and strong, and hold great power within you. You're always ready to take action when it's needed."
"The second card is laid over the first card, with the top facing right. It represents key challenges preventing you from moving forward in your life. If the question has to do with romance, it represents problems that are keeping you from moving forward in your love life." Sucre draws another card, laying it on top of the Magician. The card shows a skull-faced knight riding on a horse as people in the background plead to it. It is labeled "DEATH". However, the top faces left instead of right.
"Ah, an inverted card. Inverted cards have reversed meanings. Don't look so distressed, the Death card isn't always bad. Here, it symbolizes that your resistance of change and refusal to move on is causing your problem."
Sucre turns over a third card, laying it to the left of the first card. The card is labeled "THE HERMIT" and shows an old, wizened dog in hooded robes holding a lantern and a staff. It is upside down. "This card symbolizes the problems you held in the past that affect your current situation. The inverted Hermit means a few things, namely loneliness, isolation, and withdrawal. Things are starting to come together, but the final card will show the future- what is to come, and a possible solution."
Sucre turns over a final card. This card is labeled "THE TOWER", and shows two robed cats jumping from a burning tower. Lightning strikes the tower, and it seems as though a crown is falling from the tower's peak. It is right-side-up. "Ah," says Sucre, pondering for a moment. "I almost expected such a thing. The Tower symbolizes sudden and dramatic change, sometimes even disaster. But the four cards together..."
"Here is my tale. You believe yourself powerful now, but in the past you had isolated yourself for your power. And now, you must learn to defy yourself and accept the great change that is to come." Sucre gathers up the cards, shuffling them before placing them back in the box.
"I don't know how the little one fits into all this. Good luck." Sucre walks back into the couch room, presumably to put away the box.
Neko and Razuel remember that the leftmost door is unlocked.
