Meaning Mnemonic

A samurai puts his forehead on the table next to his weapon. He is just a husk of his former self. This shell of a samurai has nothing left.

Hints

He's just sitting there, he can't even pick up his weapon or raise his head anymore.

Reading Mnemonic

The only way to bring a husk of a samurai back to life is to have a cock (かく) crow right in his ear.

Hints

"Co co co co cooooock!" the cock screams, shocking the samurai back into his lifeless shell. You did it!
