Did that not occur to you around the time we were washed up on a deserted island with a group of strangers? Or at the lighthouse, where we may or may not have been accosted by skeletal hands?
[ Did. Did it take waking up in a grotty hot spring with a lady for him to realise things were way past the pale?
Was it fact he woke up next to a lady, was that it? ]
[STOP. He wasn't holding the braincell some of the time, but he knew that much!!]
But things are even weirder, okay! They're getting weirder! There's these--ghosts, or whatever! And the ruins are just as bad as the lighthouse! I thought we were really gonna drown!
We are experiencing strange scenarios but do we have information to piece together what they might mean? [ Something must be done, but what. They're at a notable disadvantage, and he feels like they'd done after Okumura's palace -- wrapped up in something far out of their control. ]
There's enough evidence with the bones and bodies, and the presence of spirits to suggest that goal of sacrifices is not an empty threat meant to scare us...
That's effed up. I mean--I dunno, dude. I found a bone? [He waves it again.] The, uh, whatever they were? Zombie-ghosts.
Pretty real, man. And, like, it was a girl, I think? Her neck was broken, or something. And her arms and legs, or maybe it was just her legs. Anyway!
There wasn't anything in the ruins, not like... a person, or a note. The hot springs just started filling up with this awful, black, nasty water. We passed out, and then when we woke up... There was a bar of soap, I guess?
Man, I can still hear the sound of the water fillin' up the springs...
... Oh. Was she only able to say one word? I have come across a spirtual young lady since I arrived here. Although she looked as though someone had been rather brutal to her with a knife, not like someone had broken her bones.

A bar of soap. You guess.
