IFTwēi → huī — the donor 微's reading drifted across to huī
A silk cord (糸) tucked inside the frame of 微 — the original sense is a braided rope, then the banner and the badge it became: 徽章、國徽. 微 huī carries the sound, drifted from its own wēi. The 糸 hides in the middle, between the step (彳) and the strike (攵).
故事 STORY — a scene to remember it by

A skein of silk (糸) sits at the center, twisted into cord — hung up, it becomes a banner.
