The Honkening is so incredibly effective at causing accelerated menticide in the NPC, that it is tantamount to a miracle. The NPC has no principles or convictions, they will not fight for anything because they stand for nothing. The honk induces catastrophic ego death in the NPC. The ‘phantom honking’ that reverberates through the rubble of their shattered cognition acts as a mental firewall that prevents uptake of future narrative points. Honking is the memetic weapon of mass psychological destruction that empires have chased after for eons. Honking is the primordial entropic chaos energy from which the cycle of birth-death-rebirth is manifest. The honk does not concern itself with such frivolous ideals as time or space. The honk simply is. It is honk.
