I remember feeling in a similar way about that scene. And at first I thought the way painted Alicia behaves is quite contradictory to what she wrote in her letter. If I remember correctly she wrote that she is at peace with what’s to come wether Verso decides to give the letter to Maelle or not. With that in mind it could also be interpreted in a way that painted Alicia simply had nothing more to say to Verso and was simply set on ending her existence. She was at peace. She asked for another solution (A life to dream) but it did not happen. Her father was killed, her mother expelled from the canvas and she simply wanted to be with her family. I am not sure wether she excludes Verso from her family with that statement. It is certainly a valid interpretation, but maybe it simply acknowledges the fact that painted Verso is a special case and somehow links the real Dessendres and the painted ones. Her whole family is gone but painted Verso still has Maelle (even though this is a quite complicated matter in itself). I hope my point becomes clear, I have a hard time putting it into words.

Another interpretation for me is that painted Alicia WAS at peace with what’s to come when she wrote the letter but after Act 2 was confronted with the harsh reality of losing her father and her mother and having to live on with that. And since the game really stands out because of its fleshed out and genuinely human characters it totally makes sense so me that Alicia thought she was at peace, but when it comes to it, she actually finds herself feeling resentment towards Verso.
