Mnemonic


[y-] Yoshi is [2] inside the [-an] pawn shop where he finds a vintage 亚 portal on the side of a 厂 cliff that is for sale. He tries to go in it, but a 严 strict pawn shop employee stops him, saying he must buy it first. Yoshi gets out a green spotted egg shell and hits the 严 strict employee and goes into the 亚 portal to reach another dimension. Yoshi is usually 严 strict about following the law, but the 亚 portal was just too cool.
