Swords:
The Suit of Reason, of Intellect, of Self Sacrifice to Purpose.
The Suit of Air, ruled by the Lovers.
Threes:
The Lesson of the Suit is generalized to relationships with all people.
The Three of Swords:
The Sword can love but will not, because she has other plans. She is the Heartbreaker, who uses the love of others for her own end.
Melody Lilly:
Melody is Jack Riel’s college girlfriend, an introverted business major and counter-girl at the Tattoo Empire. She’s never been a favorite of Jack’s parents; they wouldn’t presume to direct his life, but they put some extra stress on a relationship that is already a bit thin from its one-sidedness.
When Jane turns Melody, she embraces the life whole-heartedly, but Jack cannot see it. His crusade against Lillith’s Get is started in an attempt to save her, but the only thing he achieves is to spur her further into the life.
