    Summary

    Gustave survives his encounter with Renoir, all thanks to the help of a mysterious (and handsome) stranger named Verso. While Gustave is grateful, he also remains on guard, uncertain about why Verso has so graciously decided to not only help, but also join their expedition. Driven by curiosity, he chats with the man, determined to find out more.

    However, with each conversation, Gustave discovers new and surprising depths to Verso. At the same time, he finds himself being drawn closer, both physically and emotionally, something that is as frightening as it is electrifying.

    And when it becomes increasingly clear that Verso feels the same about him, how deep is he willing to fall?

    Summary

    "This feeling that all my thoughts and memories… that they’re not mine, that they’ve been put into my head by somebody else… does it ever go away?”

    It comes out almost pleadingly, the desperation Gustave tried to suppress for months now bleeding into his voice.

    Something softens in Verso’s expression.

    Or: the Maelle ending. Coming to terms with being brought back and repainted. Gustave is looking for some answers, so he goes to the one person who can provide them. Verso is absolutely done with this life, but feels obligated to at least talk to him.

    They find that being a copy of a dead man is less unbearable when you're not alone.

    Summary

    “I want to die.”

    That gets his attention — Gustave’s eyes fly wide open, and he takes a step back. Like Verso is a lunatic who is better to be avoided. “I beg your pardon?”

    “I want to die,” Verso repeats. “And I can’t do it on my own. You’re one of the smartest men in Lumière, you’re good with chroma. I need your help.”

    Or: Verso is trying to find a way out. Gustave helps.
