掘 - Dig
A giant kappa waves a foam finger-its green hand-cheering you on at a midnight festival. “Dig! Dig!” it chants, as you crouch to Yield (屈) before the canal. You wiggle your fingers, feel the cool mud, and start to Dig-each scoop making the earth bow and water gleam. The kappa grins: “When you Dig with your foam finger hand and Yield low, secret rivers appear!”
