The card
A shaft of light descends from somewhere out of frame and enters him from behind, and he stands silhouetted inside it, dark and still. What passes through him falls forward onto hundreds of upturned faces, and they are lit by nothing else. He does not generate it and he does not speak — he simply stands where it can reach them. This is the deck's final turn outward: everything the other cards made of him was only ever so that he could stand in the right place and let it through.
To sit with
Where are you still trying to be the source instead of the place it passes through?
Who is already lit by what passes through you?
