Mnemonic


[y-] Yoshi is [2] inside the [-an] pawn shop where he works. His 颜 countenance betrays his frustration towards the situation at hand: a hired 立 guard has created a 厂 cliff of 彡 hair and 页 pages from second hand books and keeps watch for any trespassers upon his makeshift monstrosity. The 立 guard's 颜 countenance is stern, almost hostile, while he waits to be relieved from this task by his employer.
