[t-] Tarzan is in the [4] bathroom of the [-an] pawn shop, trying to take a bathroom break. Unfortunately there is a large 堇 lookout tower that his boss installed inside the bathroom. Tarzan lets out a 嘆 sigh from his 口 mouth and turns to leave. In fact, the 堇 lookout tower has a giant 口 mouth on it that lets out an extremely loud 嘆 sigh if anyone tries to take a bathroom break while on the clock. It, too, lets out an alarming 嘆 sigh.
