Mnemonic
Heavy rain falls overnight, soaking everything. At dawn you begin your task of delivering mail on foot, but all that moisture has turned into an impenetrable fog. You stumble through the fog, unable to read a single address—your task becomes a blind guessing game.
Additional thoughts

The keyword for 霧 is fog. This kanji refers to the atmospheric phenomenon in which tiny water droplets are suspended in the air near the ground, reducing visibility. It represents the dense, misty conditions that obscure one's surroundings, often occurring in the early morning or in valleys and coastal areas. By extension, it can also suggest something that is unclear, obscured, or shrouded in mystery.
