Meaning: Bureau
There’s your nation’s flag on top of the cloaked mouth. Why would there be a flag on this cloaked mouth? Because it’s the symbol the “Bureau of Secret Things.”
The cloaked mouth represents how this bureau never talks about their secrets. The flag represents your country. Think about all the cool secret things the Bureau of Secret Things must have. Aliens, maybe?
Reading: きょく
The best bit of secret tech they have is the cloaking device. It can cloak you (きょく) with the press of a button.
Now, this mnemonic isn’t perfectly close, but the goal is to get you close enough in your brain so that you can remember きょく later. If you can get to CLOAK YOU, then you can get to きょく much easier than just trying to get there from scratch. So, imagine yourself getting cloaked. What would you do with this power?
