It was incredibly irresponsible of Aline to create them, truly a woman moment. The gestrals and the Grandis are retards but the Lumierens seem to have fully sophisticated sapience and are capable of understanding their existence and all the existential dread that comes with it.

Not sure if you're retarded or being deceptive but I was very obviously referring to your claim about Verso "banking on Renoir being undefeatable." Which is why I quoted it in my post. Yet even dodging me calling out your obvious falsehood you can't help but reply with another:
>Everything he ever did throughout the entire game was aimed at destroying the Canvas so he could finally die.
At the beginning of act III, Renoir says "hold still while I kill you" and Alicia says "No, live and help me fight papa and save the canvas!" and would you just take a guess what the guy who wants nothing except to die does?

>neither Verso nor Alicia bother to ask the soul fragment what it actually wants to do.
Verso asks, "you're tired of painting, aren't you?" and babby Verso nods. Young Verso NEVER wanted to be a painter and only as he grew older did he feel comfortable choosing himself to pursue music instead. The fragment of his soul in the painting is from before he gained that confidence - it needs permission from an adult to do what it wants.
