Real computed score, not a guess

You sit at a tense, 90-degree angle — real friction, but also real growth if you both put in the work. Fire and Water are traditionally read as the hardest element pairing — one burns hot and fast, the other runs deep and slow. You also share the same modality, which means you tend to want the same kind of momentum — whether that's starting things, holding steady, or staying flexible — at the same time.
