Your card was the Nine of Cups, reversed.

It isn't yours if you want it. Sometimes wanting is the trap.

[wrackful]

[What the fuck.]

I can't tell if this is another wrong number or if I'm replying to some new fortune telling app they've made that is way too damn accurate.

[transfuse]

Oh no, not again.

[ hold the fuck up ( she is the fuck up, hold her ) ]

I apologize. I was meant to reach someone else, and now everything is twisted toward you.

[wrackful]

"Everything" just being cards, right? I mean, sorry for messing your thing up, but it'd be good to know if it's going to mess me up.

[transfuse]

I'm unsure. I don't know the full message intended for you. Right now, it's a bit like sending "Hello, are you there?" over the telegraph and never waiting around for the answer.

I don't hurt people. I only want to help. [ having to say that stings a little, but she also knows the dear stranger doesn't know her from jill ]

[wrackful]

Okay. So if we get the full message, it'll untwist? You can go back to whoever you were meant to be doing this for.

[transfuse]

Yes, that would be my hope.

Though to be clear: right now, I am meant for you. I am not thinking of them. [ sincerely ]

I could — call you, if that would be better?

[wrackful]

[right now, I am meant for you seems kind of heavy, but he doesn't question it. Not yet, anyway.]

Don't people usually do these things in person?
