Display

Mnemonic

Use your fingers when the sun shines into your prison cell and hold your spoon up in full display.

Hints

Picture the sun reflecting off your metal prison spoon as you hold it aloft in your fingers. It hurts your eyes a little, but it also draws everyone's attention to this spoon you want to display.

Mnemonic

The reason you display it is to get some cake (けい). In this prison, if you display your spoon deftly enough, the wardens bring you some cake as a reward.

Hints

It's gotta be a spoon because forks are too pointy and dangerous for prison, by the way. So imagine eating your cake with the spoon you just displayed, big spoonfuls of cake frosting filling your mouth with every bite.
