He clearly has a fixation on his hands being responsible for her death. You get this mildly graphic image of his hand having his fingers chopped off. I initially took that to be his fear of heights but now it feels different in context of what happened.Īlso, in addition to that a small thing I thought of having to do with one of the scene's near the end in Memory Lane, specifically when the stage appears and Mari's ghost is attacking you when you interact with keys or light.can't remember. The interesting thing to note however is that during the fight with the nightmare creature the combat text specifically says it's trying to shove you and that it's laughing as you fall. The real looking hand that appears behind you and begins the combat phase seems to be alluding to when he pushed Mari.obviously. Early in the game when you are clearly having a nightmare and begin to go down the staircase and the shadow hands appear.

Just a few small details I happened to take note of when it comes to the topic of hands and symbolism in Omori. He is terrified of how his friends would react in finding out the truth.

Admitting his fault in her death would be akin to being caught "red handed". So, to expand on One's theory that he's suffering from having his sister's blood on his hands, I would venture to say that it also applies to his fear of letting others know the truth of what happened to Mari.

Omori can get a move eventually simply called Red Hands although I think it's only available through the Hikikomori route. Just thought I would add a few speculations of my own to the mix. I pretty much came to the same conclusions as you guys with this.
