15 - The Devil

Addiction, Dependency, Excess

These two forgot to use Temperance and now they've become hopelessly addicted to something. Wealth, power, or, heck, just an addictive drug. Who knows what it is, but they're trapped, now!

These two look an awful lot like the two bright-eyed lovers. Their relationship has become toxic and co-dependent and now they're stuck in it.

Look, The Devil isn't a cheery, fun-times card. It's a card for folks who have been imprisoned by their own desires. Maybe they're working a job that they hate because it's lucrative, or maybe they're caught in an endless cycle of chemical dependency.

It's often a contract. There's something thematically very appropriate about it being a contract. The Devil is, of course, in the details.
