Mnemonic

If you're on your scooter and you run over a root, you'll need to retreat. The roots have obviously rejected you, they want you to leave, so you should.

Hints

Picture the roots raising up a little bit from the ground and tripping up your scooter. They reject you, so you should just retreat.

Mnemonic

You're trying to retreat by scooting backwards, but the roots grab onto your tie (たい). You try to pull your tie off but it's just getting tighter and tighter around your neck.

Hints

You didn't retreat fast enough, the roots are rejecting your life, and strangling you with your own tie.
