The story started and ended so calmly. I was expecting a twist or danger to happen while the group was traveling at night. As for K-san's strange experience, the characters kept bringing up that there's nothing to fear in these mountains. Despite people seeing creatures and supernatural monster, there's still nothing to fear. K-san's experience was to depict "mujo" and shintoism, even though he's familiar with the mountain like the back of his hand, suddenly everything changed as if he's in a completely different mountain. The creatures and the environment in the mountain is always changing but the spirit of the mountain is always there looking over it. Therefore, there is nothing to fear. Without K-san's strange episode, I don't think I would see mujo in this story.
