MacArrowny 10/25/25 11:52:10 AM #45:	Aecioo posted... She went into the painting to save her family. She is clearly unhappy, disfigured, broken, etc. in the "real" world but she went in not to see Verso, or live out some fantasy, or escape reality... she did it to save her parents. Am I misremembering? I was under the impression she went in to prevent Renoir from destroying the painting, and with it, the last trace of Verso's soul. Saving their parents (and Alicia) was painted Verso's objective, not hers. HeroDelTiempo17 posted... I do think it is an underappreciated part of the Verso ending that things will not necessarily get better for Alecia. In that ending she continues to get jerked around by what her family wants for her or thinks is good for her, not what she wants or is actually best. Verso is obviously defined by being an extremely selfish character. Her parents catharsis in that moment centers around themselves as they've been battling for decades. Her older sister is a complete piece of shit girlboss who doesn't actually care about the well-being of the family, she is motivated by revenge and wants the others to stop fucking around so everyone can get back to work. Notice how in the final shot, Alecia is completely alone. She actually has no one. We see the crew wave a happy goodbye to her, but this completely contradicts that we just saw Lune and Sciel pissed as hell at Verso! She is, once again, imagining a fantasy to escape her reality. This is an excellent way of putting it. --- All the stars in the sky are waiting for you. <cite>MacArrowny posted [p:986834445] in Can we tal...
