h- Male

-ei

Notes:

The Horns 丷 replace the horizontal middle stroke in the 田 part of 里。Also, we think this character looks a bit like the character Wall-E from the Pixar film, so perhaps use him in your scene to make it even more memorable.

Harrison Ford, in his persona as Indiana Jones, is on an archeological expedition somewhere in the desert, and in the background, you can see some ruins that look suspiciously like my old student residence (my -ei location).He is sitting and warming his toes at a campfire while working on an old desktop PC, which is solar powered and currently running off batteries. He wants to compare two golden horns that he found in his dig, with a picture of similar artifacts, on his PC. He has barely managed to line up the horns with the picture on his screen, when the battery power runs out and the screen turns to black!

For me the 2 horns will be the camp fire reflecting in the computer screen.

Outside my ei- set, I see my h- actor looking very excited sitting in front of a campfire (灬) with his computer (里 ) comparing 2 devil horns (丷) he found with pictures on his computer. These devil horns may be very old!!!

Huhu, did you forget to link your movie to the "black" keyword maybe? I'm sure it happened to all of us at least once :)
