Mnemonic

A drunkard goes down a slide, hits the ground and bumps straight into a woman of great stature. Imagine the shame. This drunkard has just lost all dignity and might that he may have possessed. And that drunkard… is you!

Hints

Imagine the shame and disgrace you feel once you realise who you’ve just bumped into. Really lean into the feeling of all your dignity and might just slowly fading away as you come to realise the gravity of the situation.

Mnemonic

There’s only one thing you could think of that could possibly restore all your dignity and might: acquiring a pet eagle (い).

Hints

Just think about it. It’s the only logical option. How could you not look all dignified and mighty if you just had your own eagle? Just imagine it all perched up on your shoulder. Such dignity and might.
