Card VI: The Lovers

Representative of friendship, and harmony as well as love. It is a card for a decision, usually about a relationship. It can also depict the process of falling in love.

Reversed reading of frustration in desires. It shows that any hopes of moving forward into a new situation or stage of a relationship are founded on hopes and dreams. An avoidance of deeper commitment or responsibility is suggest as well.

Characters: Ken and Jun

Jacque's Image:

Background of a fallen mecha (from the G Fighter episode where the team defy Ken's orders in the effort to preserve his life), the sky which shows around the mecha is smoky black as the hint of an extinguished fire.

Swan Jun is reaching out towards Eagle Ken. But though he is holding one of her hands, he is not looking at her but at the mecha behind her. His sword is drawn but the blade is not out as his hand hangs by his side.

Alt Characters: Romina and Julia from Gatch I, title was something like "A Romance Destroyed By Evil"

Jacque's Image 2:

Background rolling sooty black clouds. Elvis Galactor hovering over the couple who are in different uniforms. The Galactor's arms are outstretched not exactly Christ-like, but a little towards them.

The couple have arms reaching for each other, but there is electrical discharge appearing between their bodies (contrasting lighting against the black clouds) One of their hands approach palm to palm. They have tears streaming down their face.

A Gallactor mask and an ISO rifle lie at their feet.

In Rachael's own words:

The characters at the bottom are "Jay" and "Kyla", two amnesiatic lovers who eventually discover that they are really arch enemies: Condor Joe and Berg Katse. The shadows of their past hover over them as they embrace.

Above and behind them another relationship is falling apart. Dr. Nambu, having lost all respect for his ex-wife, is turning his back on her, much to the agony of both. Dr. Kymel is trying to hold on, but it is a futile attempt, for the rift between them escalates into all-out war as the story progresses.
