Mnemonic

As you watch this scary scene you can't help but mutter, "Fool," (ふ) under your breath. Then you hear "Fool, fool, fool, it's too scary you fool!" and you realize all of the other narwhals are chanting.

You don't know what's more scary. That the narwhal's soul got sucked out, or that all of its kind is calling it a fool now that it's dead.
