Mnemonic


[k-] Kermit the Frog is in the [3] basement of the [-(e)n] infirmary where he is being operated on by the doctors and nurses as part of some weird medical ritual 垦 to reclaim land. In the corner of the huge basement is a bunch of contaminated 土 soil that they need to clean in order 垦 to reclaim land. To do so, the doctors cut open Kermit and pull out a huge 艮 silver bar that was contained within his body for some reason. They then place the 艮 silver on top of the 土 soil, in hopes that it absorbs the contamination and allows them 垦 to reclaim land in the basement for cultivation of rare medical fungus that they can grow in the dark haunted infirmary basement.
