Meaning

Listen

Mnemonic

When your ear is crossed with sound, it catches it like a net, and sends it to your heart for processing. Because you're using your heart to process this sound, it means you're giving it a proper listen.

Hints

Imagine the whole process of sound going through your ear and to your heart, then the gears turning to really understand what someone is saying. It's a real listen, not a fake non-heart listen.

Readings

On’yomi

ちょう

Kun’yomi

き

Nanori

None

Mnemonic

You are listening so well to what someone is saying. What are they telling you that is so important? They are telling you of the omen of Mrs. Chou (ちょう), who will destroy the earth.

Hints

Focus on listening, and focus on their message about Mrs. Chou. Feel afraid about the future because of it.
