I cannot let go.... [Ending spoilers]

I was standing there, faced with the impossible decision. To decide the fate of the Canvas. I know that Verso's soul is tired and I should release him. I know that painted verso wants oblivion, a release from his mind torture. I know that it's the right thing to do for everyone in the family. The only way they can move on and build anew is to let go of the past and the "illusion". Especially for Maelle who's 16 and trying to deal with grief and the insane guilt she's feeling. Holding on to that illusion would destroy her. I know that Esquie and Monoco, like the best of friends accepted it, for their friend verso. I know what I should do....

But I couldn't...

I can't do it. I know it's selfish, I know it won't lead to a good ending for almost everyone. But I just can't do it. I can't let Esquie, Monoco, Lune, Sciel, the gestrals, even the nevrons go... For me. For my grief.

They can be painted again sure, but they won't be the same, just like Noco.

So I stood there, and picked Maelle, and now I'm grieving inside the painting. The cycle continues...

I'm sorry verso... I'm sorry Maelle... but I don't regret it.

Whoooooooooooooooo hoping for a glimpse of wheee in the unkown future.

Needed to share. How is this game even real. I will be thinking about it for a looooooong loooong time.
