Mnemonic

Luckily whenever you sense a flood starting to draw close, Satsuki (さつ) prepares a raft. Remember Satsuki? Such a talented little girl. I guess floods are common enough that she's learned to make rafts?

This one is barely big enough for two people, so you have to draw close if you want to fit. Kind of uncomfortable, but it's better than being caught in an imminent flood.
