Mnemonic


[w-] Walter White is in [1] front of the [-(e)i] beach house by the bay tending to his 禾 grain stalks and 艹 flowers that grow in the sand. Unfortunately, they have all 萎 withered and are more or less dead, probably because you can't grow such things in sand. He works with a 女 woman, his partner in crime, to uproot all of the 禾 grain stalks and 艹 flowers that have 萎 withered, as he plans to use their 萎 withered petals to make meth.
