Mnemonic


[sh-] Shrek is in the [4] bathroom of the [-_] house, hunched over on the toilet and crying silently. Before him is a 世 generation family tree opposite of the toilet. It shows only one 世 leaf left which represents Shrek. He is the last Ogre left of the last Ogre 世 generation, which is why he cries. When the final 世 leaf falls, his entire 世 generation (and species) will be gone!
