This goddamn motherfucker ruined every chance at a good ending.
>Let Gustave die so Maelle couldn't be talked down from expelling Aline
>Withheld painted Alicia's letter so nobody would know why the Gommage happens
>Withholds the truth from the party so they'll see the expedition through
>Continues to hold in when he decides to erase the canvas
At any point along the way, this motherfucker could've arranged for Maelle to use a piece of her soul to continue painting, for he himself to be unpainted, for the canvas to go in and Maelle visit it anytime she wants.
He fucked everyone.
