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?

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?!
