We discover the grim details just before his arrival at Grimsey that the protagonist has caused all of his own problems, and at that, is cool and aloof toward an overtly caring tour guide. Then, when suddenly reaching a flimsy resolution on the matter from a single glance and assessment, the music turns upbeat and the exit song fuels another pathological break away. This is an exercise in the dark world that lies beneath guilt and shame, loneliness (aka healthy people staying away from toxic people), and an anticlimactic detective search, through beautiful scenery, for the lost man driving the car and leading this search.
