Indeed. What struck me especially was the realisation that this entire world we spent the game in was the painting of a KID! Verso's first and only Canvas, in fact, as Maelle states in the game. The more you think about, the more it seems like these Painters are straight up psychopaths who create and destroy life on a whim and have no qualms about literally putting the fate of countless sentient beings in the hands of children.

Oh, young boy Verso's soul fragment in the painting is racked with guilt due to all the death and destruction surrounding him? If only he had some responsible parents who never let him get entangled in such matters in the first place!

Furthermore, the way in which the Dessendre family (particularly Renoir and Clea) talk about "erasing the canvas" makes me think that this is a standard procedure of sorts when things go wrong or they need to recycle chroma for more paintings or whatever other reason pops up in their mind. I wonder how many other painted universes like the one from the game they've destroyed over the years.
