[xi-] Xena is in the [4] bathroom of the [-(o)u] bakery where there is a large 金 metal-lined abyss in the middle of the tile next to the croissants. The edge of the abyss is all 鏽 rust. Xena goes up to it and drops some 鏽 rusty pens down the abyss in addition to her 鏽 rusty sword. Then she sits next to the abyss on the tile and eats some croissants which have bits of 鏽 rust in them because of their proximity to the 鏽 rust of the abyss.
