淫
Mnemonic
During a wild storm, a swordsman stumbles out of a brothel with fresh claw marks raked down his bare back—undeniable proof of his lewdness. Every stormy night, this swordsman returns for more, and the claw scratches multiply like a shameful tally of his depravity.
Additional thoughts
Picture the storm setting the mood for sin, claw marks as physical evidence of passionate excess, and the swordsman as a skilled warrior who channels all his energy into debauchery instead of battle.Quick recall
