[xi-] Xena is in [1] front of the [-(e)n] infirmary where she was just recently discharged. In her hand is a 欠 bill for her medical expenses. She 欣 elatedly decides she won't ever pay it and they can't do anything about it. She throws it into the grass next to the sidewalk, picks up a 斤 hoe that was on the ground, and chops it into pieces. Still 欣 elated, she begins to skip home.
