Core Meaning

When you become your own enemy, every action you take brings you closer to defeat. Do not fight furiously, but stop and take a deep breath.

Visual Description

A young woman kneels in a forest clearing, bound by ropes that run between five short wooden stakes set into the ground. She wears a torn corset and a wooden cross pendant, her dark red hair falling over her shoulders and makeup streaked as if from tears or exertion. The scene is framed by a decorative border, a small wand symbol at the top, and the numeral 5 at the bottom.
