13 far different, disconnected cards cannot become pairs without the "one".
13 strangers bear all different stories and thoughts, delight or melancholy.
They seem to look for the "one", too.
The "one" is there. But they simply look around and wait in vain. Do they
just ignore it or are they unwilling to admit it?
Is the missing "one" as unique as irreplaceable?
