Mnemonic

This new agency is just starting to make progress when you hear a low rumble... then a screech.

"THIS IS MY STREET. NO NEW AGENCIES ON MY STREET!" Mrs. Chou (ちょう) cries as she barrels into everyone.

Hints

"Whenever you're in a 丁, you're in my territory," she yells, taking out a few agency members with her fists. "You won't be starting any kind of agency here, not on my watch." And she lights it all on fire.
