:
Joan of Arc (ji) is exploring the inner chambers of the anglepod (ang3). At one point she has to choose between three gates, each hiding a reward (奖) for her struggle. Behind the first gate, a bat (夕) is waiting to fight her. Behind the second gate a pit full of wood chips (丬) is waiting for her to fall inside. Behind the third gate a robot is (大) waiting to serve her and guide her through the dungeon.
Mnemonic symbol: this character looks a bit like a bat, and bats come out of their caves at dusk. I could see the upper left 丿 as part of the bat's right wing, ㇇ as the body/head and 丶 as the eye of the bat.
Xi Shi (xi) goes out for a space walk in front of the space station (Ø1) in the evening (夕), where she observes a space bat.

Just as she entered the anglepod, the Queen of Hearts craves for a popsicle. It seems like a miracle that just inside the anglepod's kitchen she finds a crate full of popsicles, which she cracks open using a dinosaur bone. Unfortunately, all the popsicles are contaminated with pieces of wood.
