Mnemonic symbol: The "nose" part (厶) can be seen as an arm, which goes through "earth" (土), and this reminds me of some protesters who lock themselves (or their arms, to be specific) to concrete barrels. Cupids dirt capsule could also be a concrete barrel. So in other characters, I'm going to represent 去 by a concrete barrel.
Cupid (qu) is trying to send himself to earth. In the bathroom of the space station (Ø4), he has prepared a capsule made of dirt (土). He's wearing his lucky fake nose (厶) when entering the capsule.

Just inside the space station's entrance, Diogenes is annoyed by Willy Walrus, who's playing his flute. Diogenes just wants a peaceful time without being disturbed, so he cuts the flute into pieces with a pair of scissors, and threatens to beat Willy Walrus with a shovel should he annoy Diogenes again.

Maud Younger (y) wants to watch a movie (影) inside of the engine ((e)ng3), but only men are allowed. She doesn't bounce back but instead, being a suffragist, puts on a long, fake Santa beard (彡). She enters to find that the whole movie consists of a still frame of a bonsai tree, a landscape in a pot. Back in the days, the script writers were not so experienced it seems.

In front of the engine ((e)ng1) Zapatista Zebra (zu) is walking over a blackboard (宗) wearing cowboy boots (⻊), leaving footprints (踪) all over it.
