Ambiguous Situation | |
| A Pure Formality / int_1f6983f7 | comment |
Ambiguous Situation: Played with. When Onoff and the inspector meet each other, the latter introduces himself as Leonardo da Vinci. It comes off as a joke. However, after the final story twist is revealed, things are not what they seem any longer, Onoff remembers this name and now it hits differently. Although, it still might have been just a joke. | |

Cowboy Cop | |
| A Pure Formality / int_3dd3951e | comment |
Cowboy Cop: About a half of the policemen at the station behave like this. First they arrest Onoff for running in the rain, then they get him headbutted on the desktop while the inspector is deliberately looking the other way. But otherwise they seem to be good guys, so they are not rabid, just cowboys. | |

| A Pure Formality / int_43e36f2f | comment |
Acrofatic: Onoff somehow manages to climb a tree despite his old age, heavy constitution and an injured leg. He is also shown capable of cliffhanging on a pipe for some time in spite of its slipperiness in the rain and its shabby condition, breaking itself apart just as he is desperately holding onto it. | |

It's a Small World, After All | |
| A Pure Formality / int_61e3b6ae | comment |
It's a Small World, After All: Onoff is taken to a police station somewhere not very far from his country house where he meets an inspector who knows all his books, loves them and cites quotes from them all the time. This is really some surprising amount of attention Onoff gets for a jerkwater village they are in. The inspector has been a long time fan of Onoff and yet he seems not to have been aware that they were almost neighbours. | |

| A Pure Formality / int_6b18b774 | comment |
"What Now?" Ending: The mystery gets solved, the twist is revealed, now what? What will become of Onoff? Where are they driving him to eventually? Perhaps it does not really matter, a pure formality. | |
