Vincent (Steve's Father) was quite abusive throughout Steve's childhood - both to him and his mother.

This animatic symbolises the scarring from the abuse and the fact that Steve still remembers what happened and still sometimes fears his father - although Steve has (tried to) maintain a strong exterior throughout his days growing up

In this it goes from Steve witnessing Vincent's abuse towards Sylvia (his mother) to transitioning to the thoughts of Vincent and the presence of him still lingering in Steve's head, making him feel anxious.

**cool little hidden detail:** - Steve falling into the hole and Vincent looking down into it symbolises how much Vincent looks down on steve and Steve looking up and reaching out his hand showed how much he used to look UP to his father when he was just a naive child.
