Ask the basic philosophical questions - why does evil, suffering exist? Gestrals seem to live a simple, yet satisfying life on top of being able to reincarnate - why not do the same for humans? What are the implications of Maelle having godlike -to the fullest extent of this word- powers? Are any of them resentful, even temporarily, of her family's meddling?
Lune would probably be interested the "rules" of the world, or rather their source. What was their scientific method of learning/discovery and would it still apply? We know things fall down because of gravity, does the same happen in the Canvas because it's an inherent property of the world? Or something the Painter has to "add" to the world? Even then, Canvas has more than a few gravity defying wonders.
Sciel would probably think about her husband and the love they shared. Was Love something a Painter had to conceive? If yes, how accurate was it? If it's artificial, does that change anything?
Those are very, very basic examples but I'm too tired to provide a more meaningful and thought-provoking examples on such a short notice. I imagine a writer wouldn't have issues expanding on those ideas. More importantly, all of that should tie in with the final decision to destroy the Canvas, instead of basing it all on a handful of people
