[qu-] Quasimodo is [2] inside the [-an] pawn shop where he finds an old headdress on display. He picks it up and a bunch of paperclips and 虫 insects fall from it to the ground. Quasimodo is so terrified he 蜷 curls up into a ball in falls to the floor in a panic. He almost looks like a paperclip when he is all 蜷 curled up with his hunched back poking out.
