Mnemonic


[ni-] Neo is in the [4] bathroom of the [-_] house. He uses his Matrix-bending powers to make the faucet of the sink 氵 spray out 冫 ice instead of water. He bends it more into the shape of a 弓 bow, then makes another to dual-wield, but broke the shut-off valves in the process. All the 氵 sprayed 冫 ice starts melting, suffocating Neo who is thrashing for air amidst the cold waters. He is slowly 溺 drowning but at least he has cool continuously 氵 spraying 冫 ice 弓 bow weapons.
