Will my ex come back?
Not a yes-or-no. Think of your ex — Bokki reads their heart, the obstacle, and a gentle step forward.
What decides this reading — three cards, and how many land upright
Three cards are drawn. Nothing else moves the verdict: it is decided by how many of those three land upright. Two or more upright and the door is called open; exactly one and there is room if you try; none upright and the reading asks you not to rush. The last column is not a guess — each card lands reversed 30 percent of the time, independently, so these four outcomes have fixed odds.
| Upright of three | What this screen says | How often it comes up |
|---|---|---|
| 3 | the door is open | 34.3% |
| 2 | the door is open | 44.1% |
| 1 | there's room if you try | 18.9% |
| 0 | better not to rush now | 2.7% |
The three cards always sit in the same three places, and each place is read differently:
- 💔 Their heart nowThe first card drawn, read for what it says about feeling and attachment.
- 🌫️ What stands between youThe second card drawn, read for what that same card warns about. The reading names the card it actually drew, not a stock obstacle.
- 🌈 A gentle step forwardThe third card drawn, read as classical advice. It is spoken to you rather than about the other person.
The draw is seeded with the name you type and today's date, so the same name on the same day always gives the same three cards — refreshing will not shuffle you a better answer. Tomorrow it draws again.
There is no percentage here for a reason: nobody can put a checkable number on another person's feelings, and a score would manufacture a precision we do not have. A reversed card is not a no either — the reading treats it as something held quietly inside for now. Because cards land reversed only 30 percent of the time, the open verdict is the common one; read it as the usual weather, not as a promise.
How many different readings this screen can give
There are 3 cards, 3 places and one deck of a fixed size — that is all of it, so what this screen can reach is countable rather than a guess. Every number below is counted from the deck and the draw; none of them is typed in by hand.
| What | How many | Where the number comes from |
|---|---|---|
| Cards in the deck | 22 | The Major Arcana, and nothing else — no suit cards. |
| Ways 3 cards can come up, in order | 9,240 | That is 22 × 21 × 20: the deck is shuffled once and the top 3 are turned, so no card sits twice in one reading. |
| Upright-or-reversed patterns | 8 | Each of the 3 cards is flipped on its own, after the shuffle. |
| Different readings | 73,920 | The two rows above, multiplied. |
| Lines the first place can say | 44 | There are 22 cards, each with its own line and that line again with the reversed clause added. |
| Lines the second place can say | 44 | The same 22 cards, read from a second book — the one about the obstacle. |
| Lines the third place can say | 44 | A third book, the one that gives advice — 132 lines across the 3 places. |
| Verdicts | 3 | Only how many of the 3 cards landed upright is counted. |
| Closing lines | 1 | The sentence the reading ends on never changes. |
The same card does not say the same thing in all 3 places. There are 132 lines behind this screen, not 22: one book for what the other person is feeling, a second for what the reading will call the obstacle, a third for the step it hands you. A card that reads warmly in the first place can be named as the obstacle in the second, and nothing has gone wrong — the place asks the question, not the card. A reversed card does not swap its line out either; it adds one clause, and each of the 3 places has a clause of its own.
Of those 73,920 readings, the verdict tells only 3 apart. Which cards came up does not move it — only how many landed upright, which is why the table further up has a column of odds and no column of cards. Two readings with no card in common can carry the same verdict. That is deliberate: the verdict reports on the draw, and the cards are the part meant to be read.
The sentence the reading closes on is the same one every time — 1 sentence, not 73,920 of them. It is not a result and it does not know what was drawn; it reads the same whether the door was called open or the reading asked you not to rush. It is this screen's standing answer to the question you arrived with, and a closing line that moved with the cards would be claiming to know more than the cards do.
The name is the whole of what you hand this screen, and it enters the shuffle as text, exactly as typed. Blank space at either end is trimmed off and changes nothing; everything else changes the draw — a different spelling, a different capital letter, a nickname in place of a name, and the 3 cards that come up are different cards. The field stops at 40 characters, and the shuffle never sees past that.
Leaving the field empty is allowed: rather than refuse, the screen puts a stand-in word into the shuffle. There are 2 of those words, not 13 — Korean has one of its own, and the other 12 languages share the second. So everyone who leaves the field blank on the same day is handed the same 3 cards — one set for Korean, and one set for every other language.
A typed name works the other way round. The language you are reading in never reaches the shuffle, so the same name on the same day turns up the same 3 cards in all 13 languages this screen speaks, and only the wording changes. Switching language gives you one reading translated, not a second opinion.
How the reunion reading is calculated
A 3-card tarot reading focused on reunion with someone specific: their heart now, the obstacle in the way, and one piece of advice.
Three cards are drawn with the same seeded, deterministic tarot engine used across the site — the same seed always draws the same three cards.
This is a symbolic mirror, not a verdict — we never state that reunion will or won't happen, and we don't attach a percentage. No medical, legal, or financial advice.
How the reunion reading is calculated
No. It's a 3-card tarot mirror for reflection — we deliberately never issue a yes/no verdict or a percentage on reunion, in line with our non-fatalistic approach.
The draw is seeded and deterministic, not random on every click — the same inputs on the same day always produce the same three cards.
