All spoilers for this fanfic series and the canon OMORI are unmarked. You have been warned.Hands is a fanfic series for OMORI written by scitydreamer. It's a Dark Fic that reinterprets elements from the game's story to read Sunny as a victim of sexual abuse at the hands of none other than his own beloved sister, Mari, leading to him pushing Mari down the stairs in self-defense. This is the true root of his trauma, and Omori's purpose in creating Headspace was to protect him from the truth by creating a Mari who truly loved him instead of viewing him as her personal sex toy.The first fic, Hands, explores Sunny's life with Mari as he suffers her torment, and how it eventually leads to the incident that killed Mari. The second fic, Will You Forgive Me, My Best Friend?, switches to Basil's perspective as he slowly realizes the ugly truth about his two dear friends and eventually stumbles upon Sunny killing Mari. The third fic, Truth, explores the Good Ending of the game as Sunny finally confesses the truth- not just that he killed Mari, but why he did so- and his friends' reactions to it. Finally, Recovery follows the friends as they deal with the revelations and try to recover from their wounds.See also False Heaven, a similar fanfic inspired by this one but taking place in a somewhat different continuity.

Arc Words: "Love". Specifically, Sunny and Mari's love for one another being put into question, as well as Mari using it as an excuse to sexually abuse her brother, all the while saying she loves him. This even puts her catchphrase "All it costs is your love!" under a worse light. "Everything is going to be okay. She won't hurt you anymore."

comment
Broken Pedestal: Mari was seen as the Cool Big Sis by Sunny's friends, and The Heart of their group, to the point that her death caused them to split up. Needless to say, they all have a lot of trouble coming to terms with the reveal that she had been sexually abusing Sunny, with Aubrey and Basil in particular getting traumatized secondhand. Basil, who is noted as having trusted Mari greatly, becomes unable to bond with Polly (his caretaker) because he thinks she might do the same to him, and Aubrey goes from dying her hair pink because Mari wanted it, to openly expressing a desire to kill Mari herself. Kel takes it a little better, but still needs time to process it.

comment
What the Hell, Hero?: When Sunny confessed to what Mari did to him and to killing her, Hero at first tries to deny it, claiming that Sunny's only saying all of it because he's still delirous from the fight with Basil last night. This absolutely angers Aubrey and Kel (albeit to a lesser extent than her), while Sunny, horrified at Hero refusing to believe him, runs off to the hospital roof and tries to end himself.

No Antagonist: Downplayed in the two sequel fics, where Big Bad Mari is already dead, and like in the canon game, the only thing Sunny faces against at large after Mari's death is the trauma handed to him. But despite her absence, Mari's abuse still lingers in the minds of Sunny, Basil, and the other friends once they realize the truth.

The Talk: In Will You Forgive Me, My Best Friend?, Basil is said by the narration to already have gotten the "birds and bees" talk from his grandmother after he witnessed a sex scene in a romance show. But when he witnesses the beginning of a rape scene in a mystery drama, his grandma has to give him a different talk explaining what rape is.

Adaptational Context Change
 Hands (OMORI) (Fanfic) / int_f33ff01c
comment
Adaptational Context Change: Some of Mari's canon dialogue and unused Something dialogue is repurposed to make Mari sound predatory towards Sunny. For example, her catchphrase, "All it costs is your love!"- the love in this case being her sexual assaults. "Don’t be afraid. It’s not as scary as you think." has the same meaning here. And Something says "Sunny... I love you" is because that is what Mari would say while molesting him. While the first two stories follow the tracks of the original story, the context of events are very different. Mari’s death, while still possibly unintended, was caused in self-defense from her rape attempt, and Basil’s crushing guilt comes from not hanging her like he did in canon, but from his failing to recognize that Sunny was being abused.
