Mnemonic


[y-] Yoshi is [2] inside the [-an] pawn shop where he works. His 顏 countenance betrays his frustration towards the situation at hand: a 文 giant has created a 厂 cliff of 彡 hair and 頁 pages from second hand books and sits underneath it in the corner of the display room. The 文 giant's 顏 countenance is strangely serene, even as everyone looks at him bewildered and annoyed.
