Card XXVI: Galen
Write with a blade
What if clarity wasn’t a soft light…
…but a blade?
What if understanding arrived not as a gentle revelation, but as something more deliberate: an incision, a careful parting of what you think you know so that you can finally see what lies beneath?
This is the spirit of Card XXVI: Galen.
Galen spent his life peering under the skin, opening bodies to understand the mysteries of illness, spirit, temperament, and the human condition itself.
His world was full of superstition, inherited thinking, and half-remembered theories, and yet he trusted his own hands.
