So this is incredibly straightforward. Usually. The Iching has poetic language that one can interpret. This message is clear. 52 is also keeping still which suggests an aspect of meditation or self reflection.Is Mr S more than a friend? It's not that he is deceptive but something doesn't seem fully transparent and the relationship has a vibe that is inappropriate somehow.
This reading suggests to me that you should cut your losses and as that you need to actively remove yourself or him from whatever dealings there are. Then it asks you to seek within yourself to detemine your needs and wants.
Hope this resonates. Let me know if there are follow up questions.
