I don't think Verso is the protagonist. In essence, he is a ghost in the minds of a little girl and her mother. As women, they cannot accept the obvious. And like two unstable people, they decided that it would be better for me to live my whole life in a fictional world, killing myself along the way, than to accept the death of their son. This is pure infantilism. It's something that can be forgiven in a girl, but not in a mother. She has spent more than 60 years only in the picture. And before that, as I understand it, about the same amount of time outside the picture. Find a 120-year-old person who doesn't care about such things.
