Multi-panel comic. The first panel shows a sad-looking crow locked away in a birdcage. The crow is not black; rather, it is white, pale pink and pale blue – the colors of the transgender pride flag. Behind the trans crow's cage we see many other creatures (some fantastical, including a sad-faced star, a blue horned rabbit and butterflies in rainbow colors) all trapped in cages, a picture frame and jars.
The caption to the panel reads:
We don't always find the keys to our cages.
The next few panels continue the story. We see a black crow pop up in an open window. The free (black) crow and the trapped (trans) one exchange glances.
We then see a flock of black crows flying through the sky while carrying the trans crow's birdcage. The trans crow is still locked inside the cage though.
The caption to the panel reads:
But we'll always meet someone who can help carry the cage to a place where it can be broken.
We next see the birdcage lying on the ground among some rocks. Its wires are twisted and broken, and the cage is empty. A single white feather, delicately resting on the top of the cage, is all that its previous occupant has left behind there.
The next panel shows the trans crow, freed from its prison, perched proudly atop a tall rock and gazing into the distance. At the base of the rock, the black crows are looking upward expectantly.
The trans crow, with a hard and focused frown on its face, says:
… I'm going back… …For the others.
The black crows below say in response:
Sounds good! When do we leave?
The trans crow looks down from the tall rock, its expression softened by emotion. Visibly moved by the show of solidarity, it looks to be on the verge of tears even while its stance is proud and steadfast, against the backdrop of a sky with swirling clouds.
We next see the crows flying off into the distance, led by the trans crow who has the same determined frown on its face. One of the black crows carries a sprig with seven flowers, each in a color from the rainbow.
The last panel, sort of an epilogue, shows us a black crow holding a large knife in its beak. The knife blade, its edge honed to sharpness, is vividly rainbow-colored. The crow's eyes are narrowed, and its stance is low. The body language also makes it look as though the crow is about to spring into action.
The caption for the rainbow-knife crow reads:
