It's a 3D model - the hand was placed on that floating sleeve thingy. The model interpreted the sleeve as the boundary for the whole arm thus the hand ended up grabbing empty space where the hand extended over the sleeve boundary.
But if this helps in creating the story then who are we to...
I am disappoint! Very inaccurate depiction. They needed to be standing in a puddle... knee deep.
...and the crowd should have been actively drowning,,,
So how do I take my number 2-os from now on. This $hite is traumatizing in so many ways... but I keep waiting for every new episode. This cannot be healthy.
I feel cheated. They did not introduce all of the 100 incarnated. I feel that it is important for us to know them all and get invested in their back stories.
Just cannot get over the art style. This seems to be 3D modeled. And the combination of the super detailed and intricate design coupled with stiff motion and unnatural poses makes the whole thing stand out in a bad way.
