Because he found out that when she was a child, she was babysitting her infant brother, and when he scratched himself with his fingernails as infants are wont to do, she decided to solve the problem by taking a pair of shears and cutting off his hands. Then she grew up and was released onto the world with a new identity and got married and had a couple of kids, but her husband found out what she had done.
