零等待状态

零 = 令 + 雨 : Just inside the engine's kitchen ((e)ng2) it is raining (雨) heavily. Li Qingzhao (li) wants to flee the rain and to enter engine, but she has no pocket money (零钱) anymore. Instead, she shows her very special name tag (令) in the hope of being let in, but unfortunately it is not recognized.

等 = ⺮ + 寺 : Inside of the engine, Don Quixote is praying in front of a Buddhist shrine. He brought a bamboo stick as offer, and he lighted it at the very top. Now he's waiting for the stick to burn down so he can go home. However, the stick is very long: Don Quixote will have to wait for a long time.

待 = 寺 + 彳 : In front of the airplane someone devoted huge black sneakers to the local buddhist shrine. Don Quixote fits into them with his whole body and the sneakers are so cozy that he thinks he could stay like this forever.

状 = 丬 + 犬 : Julian Giant Squid plays fetch with the St Bernard in the anglepod's bathroom, but just as he throws a piece of wood it disintegrates into a cloud of sawdust. The St Bernard dog is very annoyed and accuses Julian Giant Squid of having it done on purpose to tease him.

态 = 太 + 心 : The empress dowager (太) asks Tecumseh (t) about his attitude (态) towards her in the airplane's bathroom (ai4). Tecumseh isn't sure himself and samples his hearts (心) on a scale from 1 to 10 with one bin per integer. After N is large enough, he sees that his attitude forms a Gaussian distribution (态) with a mean of 6.
