Behind a building, a cleat-wearing wolverine is holding his heart and trying to hide.

Mnemonic

The wolverine looks up at the building he's trying to hide behind and sees it's an inn (いん).

Hints

Lucky wolverine! Inns are good for hiding. The staff isn't supposed to give out his room number, and there are tons of different rooms for him to hide in.
