You thought it was over

Renoir had been defeated, and he went back to the real world, so it would be fine, right? Now all you had to do was exit the canvas with Alicia and things could finally be fine again.

However, you saw the look of determination on Alicia's eyes as she ventured behind Verso into the limits of the canvas, and after debating with yourself for what felt like an eternity, you jumped in

The sight that greeted you wasn't what you expected, as Alicia was knelt down, consoling a fading Verso Seeing who you considered your brother disappear before your eyes was hard, but you managed to keep your thoughts under control, and look back at Alicia

You knew she wasn't willing to get out of the canvas in fear of it being destroyed, but you also knew that staying here for too long was dangerous for her

As her sibling, you made your choice, drawing your weapon

"Not you too... please... I can finally be happy here... We can be happy here!"

She shook her head, her tone growing angry

"You have been through the same as me! You know how real this is to us!"

You knew what she talked about, not a week ago you were blissfully unaware of the canvas, the painters and all that surrounded reality, but now, you knew it was all false, and for the sake of keeping your family together, you had to fight your sister here and now, and finally expel her out of the canvas
