Explainer storyboard

1 · Two people. One gives money, with a thank-you.

2 · The thanks is written in a shared record.

3 · The receiver keeps half and passes half on to a third person.

4 · The ring closes. Thanks keep moving.

Heart: the thank-you. Coin: the money. Card: the shared record. The coin goes straight between people. Nothing in the middle holds it.

Static equivalent under reduced motion: frame 4. The people are drawn figures, never real ones. No clock, counter or water appears in any frame.
