I feel like the fading people are snapshots of how the painters felt when those fragments were created. Babby verso just wanted to play with his parents and sister, and never really wanted to paint. That was all well and good for his actual physical body, which was eventually done painting and just got to enjoy the canvas with his family. The soul fragment that's left behind is stuck doing the part that Verso never wanted to do, and alone at that. No wonder he wants to sto.

Renoir is a more honest version of Clea, IMO. He describes her as as the most similar to him. They both do horrible things to the painted people, but Renoir acknowledges that they're horrible things and feels remorse.

>The reason he was upset about Aline coming back into the Canvas was because he was banking on Renoir being undefeatable.
A convoluted headcanon with no proof. If Verso wanted Renoir to win, or only desired his own oblivion, all he had to do was stand there for 5 seconds and let Renoir gommage him at the beginning of act three.

If painted alicia wanted maelle to have the letter she would've given it to her. Feel free to recall the first sentences of that letter.

In my experience, deep dives on minor details of successful stories are just trying to squeeze more gold out of a mine that's already been stripped. I feel that if the writers were meant to be expanded upon we would've been told ANYTHING about them. It's possible that they'll make up a bunch of stuff and it'll be good, I simply doubt it.

>theyre just game writers kek.
While I think this is a neat interpretation it's not really supported by the narrative of the game (they could only pull off the attack on the house because Alicia trusted/inadvertently helped them). By design, I think they were left vague because the writer/painter conflict is not important to the story outside of providing an impetus.
