just finished the game
picked Verso's ending because it felt right at the time but then it made me feel LIKE A PIECE OF SHIT
for real though, why couldn't alicia, or any of the dessendres for that matter, come and go from the painting at their will? Couldn't alicia just find a healthy balance of popping in on the weekends to see how everyone's going and then go back to irl? I don't know, I may have missed some plot points.
In the end though it seemed like the entire reality of the canvas was being fuelled by kid Verso's tortured soul so it would ultimately be unethical to allow it to continue. At least that's what I told myself when I gommaged my best friends away...
