Mnemonic


[cu-] Cupid is in the [4] bathroom of the [-(e)i] beach house by the bay. He owns the place and is doing renovations while wearing a bathing suit. He takes a ⺈ dagger and tries to dislodge a 月 moon that hangs from the ceiling, suspended by a paperclip. He cuts it down, but the 脆 brittle moon shatters, and pieces of it go out the window and over the 厂 cliff that the beach house is on top of. Now Cupid has to clean up the left over 脆 brittle 月 moon pieces by picking them up with his ⺈ dagger and throwing them out the window and down the 厂 cliff.
