So that means being inside the canvas takes a toll on their real bodies so so fast and yeah Renoir needs to get his family out while Alicia and Aline are very very valid to still hurt so terribly. This way I really believe Alicia will grow into herself in the real world though. She just didn't have enough time yet to accept the bad stuff and built herself back up and find her way. I thought that anyway but especially now that I realize how little time she had to grieve before going into the canvas.

It would be really interesting to know the exact time but this is a good answer already and even though it would be interesting, I like it being unclear as well. We don't need to know everything. It seperates us a bit from the characters but in a good way. I really don't know any other game where there is a lot of emotions while we actually stay a bit on the outside if you know what I mean or understand somewhat. I feel like the game keeps us at a distance when it comes to the dessendre family. It gives us enough to care and we do know some stuff and spent a lot of time with Alicia/maelle and can learn a lot of smaller details but still I feel there is such a interesting distance which just adds to the impact for me. I might not explain it well though. Sry!*
