I love this very much. According to "Seventy-Eight Degrees of Wisdom", the 5 of Cups is a "reaction to loss." I've always understood Nihilism this way historically, whether an individual or collective reaction. The same book also points out that the figure "does not yet realize something remains." Beyond kids these days, I feel like the figure looking at their phone could be either doomscrolling (useless, bad information) or (optimistically) in the process of finding something helpful... perhaps navigating across the bridge on the other side of that red river, which could enable them to move on?
Wait, is that Apollo as The Sun?

Wait. E.G. is in this deck as a Strength card?
Yup! It's a great deck.
