Mnemonic


[c-] Casper is in [1] front of the [-ang] chapel where he is decorating an 苍 ashen 仓 storehouse with 艹 flowers. This 仓 storehouse stores a bunch of 苍 ashen depressing objects that match the color of the exterior, so Casper is trying to brighten up its surroundings with some 艹 flowers. However, even the 艹 flowers are 苍 ashen, serving little use.
