Rat × The Still-Water Keeper
The midnight pool dead still on top, while underwater it has every stroke counted clean.
The Still-Water Keeper holds the pool dead still on top, calm above whatever moves below. The Rat has every stroke counted clean underwater. So you are the most unreadable of the still types, the surface flat, the depth tallied to the bottom, and no one can see what runs underneath. The quick wits layer onto the reserve, hiding deep and reckoning fine at once.
While everyone around you loses their footing, you have your cards and your way out long since ready in the dark. The crisis hits and you do not thrash, because the strokes were counted before the water ever stirred. Fomalhaut is the lone autumn star, a single light low over still water, and that is your stillness: solitary, composed, deeper than it looks. People mistake the calm for ease. It is preparation that started a long time ago.
Here is where the depth becomes a wall. Holding it all in and counting it all, you keep even your closest people a sheet of water-mist away, present but never quite reached. The moon mirrored in still water shows a perfect double and lets nothing through the surface. Some weeks the move is to let one person past the mist, to be seen instead of only reflected.

A mirror, not a prophecy. It reflects you as you are right now. How you walk is still yours to choose.
