世態炎涼

世 = 廿 + L : Mnemonic symbol: the WTO or WHO.

Sherlock Holmes (sh) is cleaning a flower pot (廿) under the shower of the space station's bathroom (Ø4) with a loofah (L) because he didn't quite understand a poster next to the shower from the WHO (世) explaining dangers arising from different germs.

In this case, L is for loofah.

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.

炎 = 火 : Mnemonic symbol: As I just learned "itis" is the feeling you get after eating too much.

Maud Younger (y) ate too much in the anthill's kitchen (an2). She's having the itis (炎) so hard that she doesn't even wake up from the fire (火) which is spreading fast.

凉 = 京 + 冫 : It is a hot summer day. To keep cool (凉), Li Qingzhao (li) hides in the anglepod's kitchen (ang2) just wearing underpants (京) and enjoying popsicles (冫).
