Mnemonic


[qi-] Kirby is [2] inside the [-(o)u] bakery, where he is a 囚 prisoner. His 口 mouth is taped shut so he cannot inhale anything, and a single 人 person stands guard over him. Baguettes as bars. His charge: eating too many pastries then not being able to pay. In short, he is 囚 prisoner because he did not have enough dough.
