past/present/future came out Death, The Tower, The Sun - rollercoaster?

pulled past/present/future this morning and got Death, then The Tower, then The Sun. first reaction was oh no, rollercoaster, but sitting with it longer it reads like a clean arc. Death as an ending youve already walked through, the Tower clearing whats left, the Sun as real daylight after. how would you weight that middle card?

not sure about the clean arc, i wouldnt call that Tower 'already cleared' yet. middle card still reads present to me
