So here we see the arrival of the Ghost Biwa Player, who enacts the fears of the passengers. The horror of it is demonstrated quite well. In the case of Kayo, it wasn’t even a refusal to have a fear, but she was unaware of it.
It is learned that Bishop Genkai is the one that compromised the compass, which brought them to the Ayakashi Sea. As his sister was in a boat for 50 years, and of course that would be anyone’s greatest fear. I wonder what the actual story behind it is.
