A six-to-seven panel comic between two people: a woman with dark curly hair and an orange-haired man, against a green background. She explains that burying golden hoards isn't random and that historians find it correlates with social upheaval. He reacts with growing dismay ('What?', 'Oh god.', 'Wow.'). She continues that medieval people buried their beautiful things when they sensed danger. In the final panel the man asks how future people will tell when our times were hard, and she answers flatly, 'Massive species die-off.' Votey (small bonus panel): a sketch of the man's worried face below handwritten text reading 'We will bury the whales for future generations.'
