[y-] Yoshi is in the [4] bathroom of the [-an] pawn shop, dealing with a situation. The pawnshop bathroom is hanging off a 厂 cliff held by a fraying 彡 hair ready to snap, sink pipes bursting. A 立 guard blocks the only exit. He, the 彦 erudite 立 guard he is, is completely lost in thought as Yoshi throws eggs at him, desperate to get out.
