Mnemonic


[xi-] Xena is inside the [2] living room of the [-_] house where she finds a strange 自 nose on 火 fire in the middle of the carpet. Xena, using her quick warrior reflexes, rips out her 心 heart and uses that to 熄 extinguish the 火 fire on the 自 nose, saving it. However, her life force itself 熄 extinguishes soon after, as she collapses onto the couch, unable to live without her 心 heart she just ripped out.
