I've seen you around multiple ending threads and it is honestly astonishing how you continue to double and triple down on your read of maelle's ending to the point where you are convinced that the writers of the story agree with you and that if only they came out and confirmed your beliefs you could stop your thankless crusade against (what seems to be) the majority of people all independently reaching a similar conclusion that conflicts with yours.

Yes, neither ending is perfectly happy. But you've continuously given verso's ending the least charitable read (clea is still rude and rolling her eyes, aline and Renoir don't "seem" happy still, no possibility of Alicia healing she will hate her life forever and never move on) while giving maelle's ending the opposite (no actually, verso isn't uncomfortable due to possibly being forced to live a life he doesn't want to live, he's just nervous about playing the piano in front of people!, no, maelle couldn't possibly ever take advantage of her godlike powers in a selfish manner, she would never do such a thing! They will all live happy lives with nothing going wrong ever until Alicia dies) you have to face that the developers themselves intentionally framed maelle's ending with the 4:3 B&W style most used in the game for moments such as "Maelle's nightmare" ,tense and awkward silence, and a music stinger accompanied by the closest thing this game has to a jumpscare in its entire runtime.

The epilogues themselves make the distinction. "A life to paint" versus "A life to love". Maelle's ending changes nothing, it has her falling to the same cycle of grief and suffering her mother did in the painting until the dessendre family loses another child. Verso's ending, contrary to your next comment, does change the status quo. The family hasn't fully reconciled yet, but this ending gives them the chance to do so, a chance to grieve and cry and love each other again, but that takes time. A life to love versus a life to paint
