#finger trauma

“Oh, good heavens. Clench your teeth, or something.”

I’m a little bit obsessed with this scene, I couldn’t rest until I drew it. I’ve seen people interpret this scene as him cutting your finger off, but the description seems to imply him inserting blood underneath the nail? And the image for the bloody finger looks like it fades out at the base instead of clearly cut like the others. And it says that the nail still aches while the rest of the finger feels nothing.
