Dangerous Close Acquaintance

This card warns of forming relationships with people who may pose a threat or bring harm into your life through their proximity and influence.

Impropriety

Indicates situations involving inappropriate behavior, moral compromise, or actions that go against proper conduct and social norms.

Visual Description

A central rectangular vignette depicts a partially nude woman leaning back among green bushes with a tree trunk rising behind her; her dark hair is short and she clutches her chest while blue-sleeved arms grasp her from below. Ten swords with golden hilts frame the scene, five at the top and five at the bottom, their blades pointing inward toward the vignette. The area outside the framed scene is a flat muted gray, and a vertical strip of multilingual text on the left lists the card number and suit. The composition emphasizes the contrast between the intimate inner image and the rigid, symmetrical arrangement of blades.
