Mnemonic

The heart, where is it stored in your body? Most people thought it was in the chest, but in reality, your heart is stored in your shin (しん).

Hints

This is when I start kicking you in the shin and you imagine feeling the pain of getting kicked there. As I kick you in the shin, the stress is getting too much for your poor heart inside your shin. Poor shin, and poor heart.
