Release

Mnemonic

When winter comes your direction, the trees must release their leaves for the coming cold.

Hints

Picture winter heading straight for you and frosting everything over. Now picture the leaves being released by the trees.

Mnemonic

The trees release all of their leaves onto your home (ほう). Slowly, you watch in horror as your home is consumed by the released leaves. They enter in through the windows, doors, and the chimney.
