Mnemonic


[sh-] Shrek is in the [4] bathroom of the [-(e)n] infirmary, holding his 心 heart that was recently taken out of his chest in an operation. He holds onto it 慎 cautiously because there are a bunch of 心 hearts scattered across the tile floor. He is worried that if he drops it, he will not be able to find which is his 真 true 心 heart. Though there is no need to be 慎 cautious: only his 心 heart is green!
