Mnemonic


[l-] Legolas is [2] inside the hallway of the [-ai] high school where he is getting his GED. Some bullies have tied him to a 十 cross because he is an elf. He keeps on yelling for someone 来 to come and help him, but the students just ignore him. Or worse, they throw 米 rice at him and mock him for being so stupid as 来 to come to human high school to begin with! It's not a place for elves.
