Meaning: Correct
You accidentally stab your cross into the eye of a lion. Of course, this is a terrible thing you’ve done, because it’s Mike Tyson’s Lion. You have to correct your mistake.
How will you correct 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 correct the mistake, more than anything.
Reading: ちょく, じき
Of course, there’s not much you can do to correct this issue, and eventually Tyson finds out. In his rage, he grabs you around the neck and chokes you.
Imagine Tyson grabbing your neck choking you out. You can’t breath. You stop struggling. Then everything goes black. In your last moment, think about the mistake you made, wishing you could have corrected it.
