Mnemonic

In a coffin there's a beggar, doing his begging. But it doesn't work, nobody helps him. So, he just begins to think: Why am I in this situation? How could I have avoided it? How will I get out? Think, dammit, think!!

Hints

Imagine him in his coffin, changing from a begging position to a stereotypical "thinking" position. His hand is on his chin, eyebrows furrowed. Focus on the beggar's thinking. This is a pretty abstract idea to imagine, so it will be important to create a vivid picture in your mind's eye.

Mnemonic

What does the beggar think of? A thought bubble appears near his head. In it is a picture of こういち! He's thinking that if こういち were here, he'd save him. Oh, if only こういち could save us all!

Hints

Then, the beggar realizes that he is こういち. Here he is begging in a coffin, and still he only thinks of himself.
