Mnemonic


[xi-] Xena is in the [4] bathroom of the [-an] pawn shop, where she works. There is a perfectly straight 線 line of 白 white 水 water shooting out of one of the pipes, going all over the 白 white floor. Xena takes a bit of vintage 糸 silk she found in the shop and plugs the hole, so the 線 line of 水 water stops shooting out.
