Dokkaebi reading
Eoduksini — Eoduksini is said to be a being in the dark that grows bigger the longer you stare at it. Obsession works the same way. The more you look at it, the bigger it gets, and the tighter the cord around you pulls. This card means that if there is something you can't let go of and keep staring at, that is your Eoduksini. The end of the cord is actually in your own hand.
