Yea, it didn't feel obvious to me, I Assumed it was a possibility - but people muttering 'Why bother' and suicide doesn't sound realistic, coming from a guy who also majors psychology xD Which is why visual stimuli would help reinforce an impactful image that the dread took over 'that' strongly imo. Otherwise I could also imagine the farmer just go "Why bother" and sleep it off or become a vegetable. xD Still, I love the art and atmosphere otherwise.
