Mnemonic

If your friendly neighborhood tofu takes a gun and points it in your direction, you might want to take a trip. This tofu obviously has something wrong with it. If it’s taking a gun and pointing it in your direction, now’s probably a good time to get away and take that trip you’d been talking about.

Hints

Imagine this menacing block of tofu threatening you with a gun. Guns are scary so you want to get away. Use images of your trip to make the thoughts of the big bad tofu and his gun fade away.

Mnemonic

Your plan didn't work and the tofu went on your trip with you. And now it's wearing your hotel robe (りょ)! It looks so comfortable, wrapped up in the robe. That's the best part of going on trips, and he stole it from you.

Hints

Imagine being stuck on a trip with a block of tofu that took your robe and is wearing it around, still pointing the gun in your face. This vacation has been ruined.
