How to read this pairing
Read the two cards as a single sentence, not two separate verdicts. Let Death set the tone, then ask how Judgement answers it: does it soften, sharpen, or redirect what the first card opened? Sumi treats every pairing as an honest mirror, a prompt for reflection, never a fixed prediction.
