Mnemonic


[yu-] Yugi is in the [4] bathroom of the [-_] house, which has been converted into a 獄 prison for Yugi. All part of his punishment for trying to summon a card inside. Bars are where the bathroom door would be, and a 犬 bulldog and a 犭 poodle standing on its hind legs stand guard. Yugi uses 言 words to plead his case, but they fall on literally uncomprehending ears. Each 言 word he says comes out of his mouth, goes through the 獄 prison bars, and then bounce off the two dogs with no effect.
