The name of the chapter is interesting. The name Fear Factory is the name of a industrial metal band that makes a lot of songs based off serial killers. Now, normally, I would say "that's cool!" And move on. But considering the fact that the currant arc of Hollow Dawn is about looking for a killer, it definitely peaks my interest. There's also the fact that Asumi dropped some me lore on Hollow Beast and Skinwalkers. First Signa mentions them being around during the Illustration War 1000 years ago and then the name of the arc being called "Hito-mane" which translates to Human mimicry, like what a skinwalker does. Instead of the main threat being Kyosuke Mori or the killer, what if the town has skinwalkers amongst them and that's why everyone is acting weird. Maybe the Skinwalker has a weird Zyn Technique or something, idk. There's also the looming threat of Harley Graves, who is also in the desert with Mosa Saint and another girl we don't know. And one last thing, in the last chapter, the innkeeper got absolutely fucked up and we haven't seen him since. I'm guessing if we see him again, it won't be him, it'll be a skinwalker.
