Three of Swords

Card Information: “Sigh… Even toys can have a hard time?” Dark clouds gather, rain pours down in fine sheets, and a lifeless stuffed toy clutches its heart. Three bolts of lightning strike, yet the toy just sits there, unmoving.
Upright: Sadness; heartbreak; depression
Reversed: Escaping reality; emotional suppression

A transparent rabbit’s hand pierces through the plush bunny’s chest, taking away its heart and separating them. The bunny lowers its head and sits quietly in sorrow. The storm and rain represent grief; the grey-green sky also reflects lingering pain that’s hard to escape. The three bolts of lightning symbolize wounds that strike directly at the heart. Though the storm will eventually pass, for now the heavy feelings remain. Surrounded by stacks of books, the scene suggests being trapped by circumstances, unable to break free.
