The Hermit and Death

The tradition reads The Hermit as age as well as solitude, which is what makes this pair specific. It is not an ending that arrives suddenly; it is one approached slowly, alone, and largely already understood by the time it comes.

Associated with a relationship ending that both people saw coming for a long time. The pair is quiet about it.

Read for a role ending that has been visible on the horizon. The pair notes that foreseeing it does not remove the ending.

You already know. The remaining work is not finding out, it is saying it out loud to somebody.
