The bard looks surprised. "Butterflies in such number as to crowd out the whole scene? Butterflies in a dream refer to freedom, though what kind can vary."
She picks up her cards and flips over the whole deck. "To question freedom is good. Sometimes we have too much, but sometimes instead we are being told something much more obvious."
Eyes locked to her querent's face, she passes the cards from one hand to another, stopping close to the end of the pile. That card she drops on the table, where it flips face-down, and she looks at it.
"There, that is your hidden variable." With all the cards turned over again, the variable is revealed to be Charity.
"So it is a charitable gift that will free you, overwhelmingly so!"
