* TokenRomance: It was ''really'' unnecessary for Owaki and Yoshida to [[KissingDiscretionShot get together]], though it's possible that it happened so that we'd get a giant HopeSpot, before things get worse.
** It escalates the horror -- something horrible happens not just to eccentric strangers, but to somebody you like (both Owaki and the readers).
** It builds up to Owaki's DespairEventHorizon. Despite his best efforts, the girl he likes committed herself to a gruesome fate... [[NothingIsScarier probably]]. In that moment of grief, Owaki is extra vulnerable to the compulsion of the holes. But, horrifically, the event horizon is physical, not mental. Like suicide, somebody succumbs to ''temporary'' intense emotions and makes a terrible, irreversible decision.

** The ancient people's reasons for building the holes. Scientists on-site note that it would be unnatural for a mountain to have this many people-shaped crevices, and find evidence that they were man-made. Is it a punishment for the modern people of Japan, a relic from potentially punishing criminals, or something unknown?
** Owaki's hole only appears after he realizes that Yoshida has gone into hers. He's been having nightmares about being forced to go inside the hole as a punishment. Perhaps he succumbed to the influence willingly, and was DrivenToSuicide by going into his own hole?

* InferredHolocaust: It's unknown how many people were compelled to enter the hole before the government intervened. There are implications that the site was eventually closed off, to prevent visitors from succumbing to the same psychic hold. Even so, considering there were dozens on day one, the numbers couldn't have been pretty.
