Meaning: Director
There’s a cloak over a mouth that’s on the ground. What happened here? Someone disolved, only leaving a few things behind (the mouth and cloak). You lift the cloak and find a badge, too. Turns out, it was the director of your company.
Feel the surprise of this – you were just going to go talk to him and ask him something about work. What were you going to ask? What were you going to say to him when you saw him? Now it doesn’t matter… now it’s too late.
Reading: し
When we need to remember し we use “Sheen,” as in “Charlie Sheen.” – You wonder who could have done such a thing to your director. You look up and look at the people around you, searching for a guilty face. Then, your face comes on Charlie Sheen. He’s grinning wildly.
Then, Sheen runs away, laughing hysterically. In your imagination, you should give chase, shouting his name the whole way.
