Notes for Twain
Traditionally you'd get something more like a kouhaku maku -- a red and white striped curtain -- at a Hanami. Tomoyo has to go above and beyond in anything fabric, so her display is inspired by the red and purple curtain of the hanafuda deck, in the sakura suit of cards.
Some of you may recognize the phrase Tomoyo uses here through the manga Hana yori Dango -- like Rob -- but Tomoyo is hardly the first to give it it's literal meaning.
Twain is a card that doubles the hex in a card game called Hex Hex, which sends a hex both directions around the table. One path leads to the Clear Card arc, the other leads to our story. I came pretty close to naming it "Arc Twain".
If you got lost, the spread of Sakura cards used in the divination was:
Aid Goal
Past Present Future
Obstacle Hidden
WATERY/CHANGE SAND/CREATE
WOODY ^TIME TWIN
JUMP/ERASE ^RETURN/SHADOW
After a little bit of research on how Tarot fortune-telling and card spreads, I'm convinced that it's entirely junk. Most of the advice is to do whatever feels right at the time, and while I'm as big of a fan of thelema as the average guy, it's just weaksauce here. Learning what the cards mean to you personally totally prevents exploiting research on Jungian archetypes, I mean like, come on!
Just a reminder to those who haven't watched Cardcaptor Sakura that Sakura is not talking about the garden tool. Both the "O" and "E" are pronounced in "hoe", with no dipthong. It is one of her peculiarities, and Tomoyo thinks it makes Sakura extra-cute!
