Because that's not how people work. There is no faggoty Reddit third choice that makes everyone is happy. You have a person with an addiction, either cut off the source or see him kill himself in the following years.
Both are heavily up to interpretation too. They never answer if Maelle can just repaint everything as it was in a different canvas. The echo of Verso admits he's tired but also believes everyone in the painting is just as valid as actual people. Verso himself in the DLC is shown actually having a good time and has an old diary from when everything began about how he thought they all had a right to exist. Also in the DLC, time is so dilated thousands of years have passed in the short time the canvas itself has actually existed, so Maelle could live an entire life inside and still come out only somewhat fucked up instead of dead.
Even if she has the ability for it (debatable) it won't be the same. The whole point is the Canvas containing a piece of Verso's soul that forms the connection for the women of the family.
it's either that or some other drug to take the constant pain away
I still do not understand why people keep harping on the escapism angle. Is that the only thing they got out of the game? Is there a streamer or some jewtuber that keeps peddling this crap and people are only capable of talking about this?
You can't go more literal in doing an escapism analogy. And be the other characters sentient or not, the main character would rather save his sister even on the account of everyone else like a lot of people would do in real life.
people are really retarded
Not just saving his sister. His mother (both real Verso and his) and himself.
That's what's funny about people saying Verso is some grand evil villain, or even dumber saying he did it because he wanted to die.
His final words to Maelle are the same ones the real one said.
Did he? They left enough to have him (real Verso) be alive for a sequel. Theres alot of sketchiness real Verso has.
he is a nice wholesome boy and there is nothing wrong with that
He is basically Aerith but a guy.
No, he died in a fucking fire, Alicia barely survived because of him, there's nothing to suggest he ninja vanished after
The mother is peak BPD bitch that made every painted version of her children and husband fucked up. Dad and Clea seems way cooler with Verso so he was probably in the right, the implication was that he is a standard case of a person that was incredibly good in something that his family pushed him into, but personally outgrew it.
