Ripples

Mnemonic

As the tsunami hits your scooter and your car, it alters the wave, creating ripples.

Hints

They're hard to see because a tsunami is pretty big, but your scooter and car do create ripples in the water as it goes past.

Mnemonic

Ripples come off of your scooter and car from when they were hit by a tsunami. More importantly, those things were rentals (れん), so ripples or not, it doesn't matter if they were hit by a tsunami.

Hints

As you watch the ripples come off your car / scooter, be sure to imagine the relief you'd feel if you knew they were rentals and not something owned by you.
