Condition

Mnemonic

There’s a tsunami coming and your older brother is in no condition to escape. Your older brother has brittle bone syndrome so there’s no way he’ll be able to escape the tsunami in time in his condition.

Hints

Imagine your poor brother and the condition he is in. His glass bones and paper skin make it impossible for him to move very fast. Imagine the sad face he makes when he realizes his fate.

Mnemonic

His condition gets worse and you have to travel all the way to his home in きょうと to get him out.

Hints

This is also, incidentally, where the tsunami's condition is the worst, so you better get to きょうと quick!
