>But this family is incapable of listening to one another and I don't think the game even addresses that.
You insist on the most negative possible interpretation of everything, for some reason. We only see the family in the grip of the very recent and tragic death of their son, and the disfiguring of their daughter. The family are also wizards, and have a literal fragment of their son's soul that they can use to pretend he's alive. This is a recipe for fucking disaster, and it does indeed end up being a disaster. That's no indication that everything ever is forever fucked forever. Calm down.
>Renoir thinks he knows better than anyone how to solve things,
Aline is literally killing herself with the canvas. He's right that she needs to be removed from it.
>Clea dissmisses everything and everyone that doesn't concern her personally,
Clea acts tougher than she is because she's convinced herself she has to carry everyone through this tragedy. She speaks with coldness to Alicia, but ends up going into the canvas to task painted Verso with looking after her. She's fucked up, but part of it is a front. She has problems.
>we don't know how Aline is,
near suicidal with grief
>but it is implied she was a smothering cunt as well.
No it's not.
>This is not a happy and loving family, anon.
Correct, because Aline is currently driven mad and physically resisting attempts to get her to face the reality of her son being dead. Once they're out, a very different picture is painted. It doesn't guarantee happiness but provides the possibility of it in the future. I think you just don't like your family and are projecting.
