Joker

Horror Vacui

Joker

Fear of the void. A second witness to chaos—the wild card acknowledges no suit.

A second witness to the void. Two Jokers because one might be dismissed as anomaly, but two confirm a pattern outside the pattern.

Horror vacui again — the emptiness that nature abhors but cannot prevent. This Joker mirrors the first, suggesting that the wild cards are not random but systematic in their refusal of system.

Where one Joker punctures order, two establish that puncturing as principle. The deck contains its own disruption.
