Mnemonic


[ni-] Neo is in the [3] basement of the [-(e)ng] English manor where he is looking around the dusty old statues for signs of Agent Smith. He sees an old English 宀 dollhouse and looks inside it by 拧 twisting open its miniature door knob. Sure enough, Agent Smith, who has turned into a 扌 finger comes running out and tries to run away from Neo. Neo uses his Matrix agility to jump up to it and 拧 twist a 丁 spike into it so that it can't move. Agent Smith returns to his usual FBI agent form, still 拧 twisting, trying 拧 to twist away from the 丁 spike that has impaled him to the dusty floor as Neo stands over him, victorious.
