Why this step
On this site the Five of Wands is open combat: a conflict where the stakes are real and visible to everyone, with nothing hidden behind diplomacy. The entry calls it uncomfortable but honest, and says that if a confrontation is needed, the cleanest version happens in the open. Reversed, it is fighting out of habit or pride once the original reason has gone.
