Mnemonic


[l-] Legolas is in the [4] bathroom of the [-a] auditorium making elvish 蜡 wax for use in a play. He sits next to the sink, picking 虫 insects off of a piece of turf that one of the bathroom attendants reluctantly holds for him. He places them in the empty sink and burns them into 蜡 wax with a miniature elvish 日 sun that he takes out of his pocket. He hopes to mold the 蜡 wax into some sort of elvish stage prop.
