Mnemonic


[qi-] Kirby is [2] inside the [-an] pawn shop where he is looking for something to buy. He finds a strange vintage statue of a 文 giant with a 虍 tiger by its side and Kirby is suddenly struck with a 虔 pious feeling. He gets on his knees and prays to the statue for redemption and decides that the rest of his life will be in 虔 pious devotion to this statue. He immediately buys the statue at the counter before eating it, himself turning into a 文 giant that has 虍 tiger stripes, showing that his 虔 pious belief has resulted in a plentiful bounty of new power.
