Description Otto's not the best speaker when he's nervous, you guys may have noticed.

So why am I only showing his father's hands and never his face? Well, probably most of you remember, but Otto said at one point that he doesn't remember his father's face; only those bruised knuckles of his. Since this is a memory of Otto's, I thought it'd be a nice call-back. Plus it works as a thematic device of course- no one wants to be remembered as a couple of bruised fists.

Wow I certainly think it was a brilliant idea to not show the father's face. It makes him so much more terrifying
Poor Otto

I think it's brilliant not to show his face but highlight the bruised knuckles and the wedding ring. Those two things together say a lot.

Oh gosh I'm really scared for him. D%;;

The wedding band really stands out on him... It's supposed to be such a happy symbol, but on him, it almost feels... hm... I'm trying to think of the word for it. Like, rather than feeling like the whole "I will love you and care for you until death do we part" sort of thing it's supposed to mean, on him, it practically screams "You are mine forever, and there's nothing you can do about it." I don't know if you were trying to put off those vibes, but that's what it felt like to me.

I did want to highlight it, so I'm glad it stands out like that!

so, so sad... I think it's very effective, this no-face concept of yours... it serves the story brilliantly
