Why this step

The trail ends at enough. The Nine of Cups is a satisfied hall: on this site, contentment that is earned and not performed, the settled feeling of having enough without needing more. Its reversed reading looks the same from outside: complacency, numbness mistaken for peace. The entry says it is worth checking which one this actually is, and the trail leaves that check with you.
