You're on a scooter and suddenly someone throws a hot pepper at you and you have to dodge it.

Mnemonic

As you dodge the hot peppers, you feel a strong heat (ひ) fill your body. You can't tell if this heat is from the effort from dodging or if you didn't dodge right and one of the hot peppers touched you. Or maybe the scooter is overheating.

Feel the heat flow through your body. It's getting harder to dodge as the heat grows and you start sweating!
