CROW 1
You know who we haven’t heard from in a while? That Mosaic-Tailed Rat.
Panel 4: Close up on MOSAIC-TAILED RAT wearing a lovely BOWLER HAT.
CROW 1 (voice over)
He wears the best hats.
Panel 5: Close up on CROWS.
CROW 2
Oh yeah. He’s dead. Actually, his entire species is extinct.
CROW 1
What?! How?
Panel 6: Close up on CROW 2.
CROW 2
Climate change, primarily. Rising seas destroyed their habitat, and killed all the rats.
Panel 7: Panel frames CROW 1, who considers CROW 2’s words.
CROW 1
Huh.
Panel 8: Reverse silhouette of CROWS on GARBAGE BAG. CROW 1 still in thought.
