Mnemonic


[li-] Link is [2] inside the [-an] pawn shop where he finds a starving 舛 coyote in the dusty corner. Link 憐 pities it, so gives it some 米 rice to eat. In return for this gesture of 憐 pity, the 舛 coyote gives him a bit of 忄 soul energy that flows out of his body and into Link's, making Link stronger.
