The city is in an identical state of ruin compared to before the Renoir fight, except for the operahouse which is repaired. You can call your eyes liars all you want, Alicia's priorities are clear.

Maelle isn't going to play with him, she's going to fix up the opera house (and nothing else) and play with painted verso.

He doesn't DESIRE that things be erased, but he also doesn't desire to continue painting. He knows what it means to stop painting and still takes Verso's hand.

There's lots of scaffolding and evidence of construction there when you run around as Gustave but it seems like preparing for the expedition and simply keeping everyone alive takes up most of their focus. And then of course the city looks even worse once Renoir does his thing. The truly grim part is the perfectly restored opera house in Alicia's ending, showing that she could be fixing things if she wanted to.

>she's bringing them back.
Yes, by knowing the truth of who they are. It's by no means set in stone whether or not all the lumierens she brings back are genuine, but it's crazy to pretend there's no room for doubt.

You're either being disingenuous or don't want to acknowledge that some of these details provide room for Alicia's ending to be quite dark.

I didn't think so either but an anon gave me a good reason to doubt myself last thread. I still don't get why they look like this. The models had proper color in their clothes in the Prologue.
