Mnemonic


[xi-] Xena is in the [4] bathroom of the [-an] pawn shop, where she works. She is looking in the mirror at a swollen 腺 gland on her neck. It is 白 white and has dimples just like a 月 moon. And it is leaking 水 water everywhere. Xena thinks it may be a curse from an evil witch. Or perhaps her 腺 gland is swollen because she is stressed about work.
