Into your mouth the leader shot an arrow with an attached hook so that they'd be able to see into your throat.

Mnemonic

From your throat you hear a voice. Not yours, but one you recognize. It's こういち! What's that rascal doing down in your throat?

Hints

The leader starts to tug こういち out of your throat, but he resists. "No, I like it down here, it's dark and damp." The leader gets angry and pulls harder, which hurts! This is your throat, after all, don't you get a say?!
