Here is what this pairing is working with.

• Running over: You're weaponizing pain, playing victim while inflicting emotional damage on others.

A partner's job is never to fix these states — it is to recognize which one is speaking. What sounds like an argument or a silence is often just the Three of Spades running under or over.
