    Summary

    It's not that he wants to see her unhappy. If she's in the Canvas anyway, he would rather she was alright—as alright as she can be, wasting away in her brother's haunted house. In another life, that would be all that matters, and he could see her joy without dreading its cost.

    "Maëlle," he greets her back anyway.

    "I fixed the opera house," she announces, beaming.

    After Maëlle's victory, Verso waits for the inevitable and finds that he has to live in the meantime.

    Summary

    As an attempt at healing her heart after being flung back to her world, Alicia begins to paint. She begins to paint, but it is a slippery slope: Alicia is desperately trying to conjure her own version of the friends she had lost, just so she could give them what she perceives as a happy ending. Through failure, pain, and unwittingly hurting those she cares about the most, she slowly has to learn how to let go.

    Summary

    In the beginning, they were the Dessendre family. No more. No less.

    There was a fire; Renoir knew that much. The specifics had never mattered. Like a nightmare, the finer points had since faded. Renoir concerned himself with one thing: he’d been there. Verso lived. His little one would carry her scars the remainder of her life, but she lived too. He could ask no more than that.

    Seven years after the fire, the nightmare began again. Only this time, Renoir could not wake. The Fracture shook the world apart. He stood powerless as the foundations of the earth crumbled.
