Mnemonic


[z-] Zelda is in the [4] bathroom of the [-(o)u] bakery, washing off her hands that are covered in dough and flower, when suddenly the 天 heavens above her opens up. A 扌 finger that wears an imposing barrister wig drops down next to her, and begins to 揍 beat her up, for seemingly no reason. Zelda tries to run away but can't, and the 扌 finger continues 揍 beating her for reason that only 天 heaven knows.
