A bittersweet sapphic story involving magical beekepers that has an atmosphere of inevitability to it, the cost of it all looming in the distance until the end. It only makes sense that tarot reading is featured in it - so much of this story in some way involves fate - and that its title names three saints closely associated with bees. Bees as a legacy that keeps drawing you in.
There's something mysterious about it, too, because the story doesn't tell you anything more than what you need to understand it; it doesn't have one word out of place.
