Mnemonic


[tu-] Tom Cat is in the [4] bathroom of the [-o] office building, where his task is to 拓 expand the bathroom so they can fit more stalls. The only tool he has is a single 石 stone, which he uses to 拓 expand the space by mining into the wall. He accidentally hits his 扌 finger when hitting the wall, and it 拓 expands to the size of an eggplant, turning bright purple-red and throbbing in pain. He runs over to the sink and runs water over it.
