Mnemonic


[ju-] Julius Caesar is [2] inside the [-e] electricity plant, dressed in luxurious 糸 silk and holding a 刀 sword. He sits looking at the fire-powered generator when an employee comes up and gives him an electric 巴 crust. Caesar, displeased at his tardiness, 絕 cuts off his head with the giant 刀 sword he has. Then he 絕 cuts off a piece of electric 巴 crust and snacks on it while contemplating Rome. Now we can see why some senators worked together 絕 to cut off Caesar from power!
