19. Even when the bruises were on his right hand, there is no way they were from hand shaking.

When you shake hands with another person, your thumb slides neatly into the webbed space between their thumb and forefinger, known as the thenar web space. You'd have to put your thumb in a really odd position to reach the part of the back of the hand where TSF's bruising is.

Fun fact I found just now - an antiquated name for the thenar web space is the purlicue.
