Redness of shame, intensest of blushes
Upright Meaning
The elder marks the terminal node — the end of one process, the threshold of the next. This is the graceful shutdown, the final commit before the repository is archived. Honor what was built, release what is complete, and prepare the ground for what follows. Every terminus is also a trailhead.
Contra (Reversed)
The process refuses to terminate — a zombie process consuming resources long after its purpose has expired. You cling to endings, refusing to cross the threshold into what comes next. The elder's medicine becomes poison when you drink from the cup of nostalgia too long.
