[z-] Zelda is in the [4] bathroom of the [-ao] barn, trying to clean her dirty hands. She has a magical 白 white bar of 皂 soap with a 七 seven inscribed on it. She applies the 皂 soap, then washes it off with water, 七 seven times. Each time her hands get more and more 白 white, until by the end of the 七 seventh time, they glow with a blinding 白 white light that could burn out one's eye.
