Two of Swords
A stalemate and a pause before choosing.

A blindfolded figure sits by the sea at dawn, holding two crossed swords over their heart. They're balanced and still, but not yet deciding.
The Two of Swords is about indecision and weighing options. It may show a choice you've been avoiding, or a situation where two sides need balance. It asks you to gather information, listen to your heart and make the call when you're ready.
