It is normal and fine with no ants. This could suggest that the idea of ants infesting a hand is a joke. She then threatens him with a chair, and he finds himself with his leg tangled in string. At the end of this string is a keyboard, which the man we saw at the beginning is trying to play, to no avail as it is being pulled away from him. Annoyed, the first man punches the one is pulling it away in the face, whereupon, the crazy man falls to the floor, implying that the...
