Kiera Knightly (qi) is outside the Lake O apartment, struggling to help my one-armed best friend (又) lift a 50lb dumbell (工) , when it slips out of their hands and lands on the hood of Kiera's Ferrari (车), which, being so LIGHT, flips into the air and floats away like a balloon as the two dumbfoundedly look on.

I created a new prop for 𢀖 (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/𢀖 jīng) , it was hard for me to see that shape as a 又 with a piece missing.

Just to clarify - this is "light" as an adjective i.e. not heavy.
