Mnemonic


[qi-] Kirby is in [1] front of the [-_] house on the lawn where he is 凄 bitter cold, to the point where he has turned blue instead of his usual pink. The grass on the lawn is covered with 冫 ice in this 凄 bitter cold weather. Kirby sits next to a 女 woman, his neighbor, and they try to fight the 凄 bitter cold by rubbing a pen and a 十 cross together in hopes of creating a fire. But it is so 凄 bitter cold that even those two things have turned to 冫 ice.
