Mnemonic

You accidentally stab your cross into the eye of a lion. This is a terrible thing you did and you need to fix it right now. I'll be direct with you, this is something you have to fix on your own.

Hints

How will you fix this mistake though? Maybe if you build a time machine you can go back and stop yourself from throwing your cross around so carelessly. Whatever you do, focus on how important it is to fix the mistake, more than anything.

Mnemonic

As you try to fix the lion's eye, it starts to choke (ちょく) and make what can only be described as a jikijiki sound (じき). Through its choking jikijiki sounds, it coughs up a gear. Wait. Is this a machine lion?

Hints

You're relieved! You don't know how to fix a choking, eye-stabbed lion, but you can absolutely fix a ROBOTIC one. Robots are fixable.
