Mnemonic

You decide white light is the ultimate color. You decide you want to put it on all things to make everything white. "What a great idea," you think. You try to put it on everything and you nearly succeed... except, the miners (みな). They keep getting dirty doing all their mining things. NOOO, your plan is ruined!

Hints

Imagine everything covered in white. Everything in the world. Then, you see a dark splotch. It's the miners, they're all covered in coal, ruining all your ambitions. Walk up to them and see all the dirt on the perfectly white uniforms you gave them just a few minutes earlier. Feel enraged at them. How could they ruin all this white you made for all the people of the world!?
