Naomi lights up ritual candles and spreads her tarot cards on the bed. She flips the first card, revealing a man sitting up in bed, his face contorted in pain.
"This is the Nine of Swords, a very negative card representing pain and fear. The swords symbolize that his fears may pierce through him."
She flips another card and gasps. The card shows a hideous devil with goat-like features, holding a torch, and two people chained at his altar. "The Devil card's symbolism is often associated with Judaism, and also featuring traits of Baphomet. The hand gesture is the priestly blessing performed in Judaism. This could represent a powerful rabbi, possibly Rebbe Messiah himself. The chains symbolize the Ghanaians' fear and bondage under his influence. I don’t feel comfortable looking at this card." She flips it over, her face pale with fear. "I felt as if he was looking at me through the card, and I couldn’t stand its gaze. One thing is certain: this Devil figure, whoever he is, is a powerful man."
"Does it mean we should hold off?" Eun-Ae asks. "The Ghanaians sound like victims of the Devil."
"I don’t know," you reply. "They can’t use the Devil as an excuse for betraying Tyrone."
