Sombody needs o address Jr having bones for hands when the 'skin' on his head is visible. :'(
Sorry that I said it but it needed o be said.
Yes, we noticed. Nobody made a big deal out of it though. I'm not questioning it because I'm tired of speculating about Jr.'s skin. It seems to be what Bleed just decided to do. However, if you need an explanation let me whip one up for you.
Junior's skin is under the control of the Nergals and can be highly dynamic. So why did the nergals decide to remove the skin on his hands. One function of a brain is the
self image, the brain's internal idea of what the body is, including what it looks like. This image is not always in line with what the body actually looks like and this can cause very interesting effects in a body. Jr.'s nergal's do not have a single brain, they are number of symbiotic demons acting together, each of which probably has a simple brain. Although the nergals work well together it is not impossible to imagine a slight misunderstanding in communication. When the tentacle was cut off the nergals on the tentacle had to update the self image of the rest of the nergals, that the end of the tentacle was gone. This is so that the nergals on the tentacle will not be asked to move a part of the body that does not exist. While messages were being passed around, tentacle turned into arm like in a giant game of telephone. The nergals on the arm were confused because the hand was still there to their knowledge. However, they hardly understand the mind of a little boy death, so they decided to evacuate the hand.
lol, that was fun. The self image and corruption of information are two of my favorite things to think about.
