So drawing today’s Syaoran month image made me remember a thought I had a while back. In episode 32, Sakura asked Kero why Clow created the CHANGE card, and he said Clow was “a mighty strange fellow”. Lol. So here’s my theory…
My head canon is that Clow saw two people arguing one day, maybe Kero and Yue, and he thought “Wouldn’t it be nice if they could understand each other a bit better and see from a different perspective?”, and thus the CHANGE card was created. This is also why the spell cannot be broken until they have spent at least 24 hours in each other’s shoes and must embrace to return back to normal, essentially a forced “hug each other and make up” sort of deal. Haha!
But knowing Clow, it probably also doubled as a way to have some serious shenanigans.
