Meaning

Primary

Damp

Mnemonic

After the tsunami the sun comes out again and shines on these spikes. They were super wet before, but you figure the sun probably dried them off. You lean down to touch them and nope, they's still damp.

Hints

The sun did a little bit of work, so they aren't wet, but they aren't dry either. They're damp.

Mnemonic

As you're looking at the damp spikes, a shih tzu (しつ) prances over, slips on the damp ground, and falls right on the spike! Oh nooo!

Hints

Luckily the shih tzu is kinda pinned between the spikes, so it isn't dead or anything, but it's definitely stuck. You try to help it out, but you slip because it's so damp and you fall in too! Imagine the sound of your cries mixing in with the shih tzu's as you both struggling to get out but can't because of how damp everything is.
