In relationshipsUpright
The figure on the card keeps both coins aloft above churning water — this bond is mid-toss, neither pocketed nor dropped, the ships behind him still cresting the same unsteady wave.

The lemniscate ribbon holds the two coins in their circuit — money in, money out, desk piled high, but the rhythm is intact as long as the grip holds.
Reversed
The ribbon goes slack, coins scatter across the floor, and the ships in the background are listing hard into the swell.
