In observatory's bathroom, Osvaldo Farrés plays his famous song "Quizás, Quizás, Quizás" (Perhaps, Perhaps, Perhaps) on a flute. Helga Horse listens and doesn't know whether she should maybe give him her mandarin as reward, or perhaps stab him with a spear.

Maud Younger (y) forgot her keys to the space station (Ø1), all she brought outside was her flute (一). She has no choice but to crash the door with the giant flute.

Mnemonic symbol: a nation's flag. Let's say the Chinese flag.
In the observatory's kitchen (o2) Gitta Giraffe (gu) is practising her ballet performance. She got a whole crate (囗) full of jade bracelets (玉) and flags (国) and fixed one flag to each jade bracelet. This makes a perfect combination for throwing the ring with the flag waving behind it and catching the ring again after a few pirouettes.

Yu the Great (yu) and Osvaldo Farrés (或) have been working in the space station's bathroom (Ø4) for several days now. Their task is to classify different kinds of mud (土) and build a mud taxonomy (域). Most of the time they slack off and play games through the LAN (域) instead, though.

Oswaldo Farrés (或) wants to give his heart (心) to Helga Horse (hu) in the observatory's bathroom (o4), but Helga is very confused (惑): she doesn't know at all what to do with it.
