Way back in chapter 7 they closed the ferry a week before the Spring Dragon God Festival, so I wouldn't be especially concerned about the ferry shutting down early considering this will be "a very special episode."

What is worrying is that Karin and Soyogi seem genuinely upset about the prospect of what may happen to Nagi. But when Soyogi breaks down it is not directly from any danger but from the possibility of losing him.

The local legends are all about SELF-Sacrifice, not "The Children of the Corn" crucify the stranger to satiate the local demon type. This makes me wonder whether the festival is a test of courage, love of the maidens, and loyalty to Okitsu Island for the Dragon God candidates.

One way or another, the two of them, and probably all four, are going off the cliff.
