How can Yuk Chi's story be further improved?

Deck: Crowley Thoth

Question: How can Yuk Chi's story be further improved?

Spread:                          4
                                     3
                                   1  2
                                   

Cards:
1) Character Ray: Prince of Wands
2) Character Chris: Ace of Cups
3) Plot: 2 of Swords (Peace)
4) Guidance: 3 of Cups (Abundance)

Comments: Asking for inspiration for a friend. Not the usual kind of reading. Went pretty well, surprisingly  despite failure at past attempts.

Interpretation: Immediately I see that there is conflict between the two characters. Ray as the Prince of Wands has a fiery attitude towards the decision of Chris, who made the decision on emotional want. Though I had expected Ray to be of a Swords suit, it still sort of proves my point about the tension.

The plot is Peace, so I believe there is some form of resolution between the two characters? The positioning of the cards suggest that each wield a sword, and cross it over the rose, showing some form of unified ideals between the two. That was the sign for me that either Ray should miss home or Chris should hate home. This way the contrast between the characters would also be more distinct, thus becoming more sentimental.

3 of Cups, Abundance. An abundance of emotion and the water element, I feel, so I decided that it would be better if Ray was the one who began to miss home.

All together, the cards really build up a stronger, more tear-jerking story. Cool, the cards can be used this way as well! That is, I promised there would be a lobster dinner if the piece were to win.

Notes: My explanations here may not make sense to some of you as you do not know the story. I think even in the future I might not understand this as well.
