    Summary

    “I want to die.”

    That gets his attention — Gustave’s eyes fly wide open, and he takes a step back. Like Verso is a lunatic who is better to be avoided. “I beg your pardon?”

    “I want to die,” Verso repeats. “And I can’t do it on my own. You’re one of the smartest men in Lumière, you’re good with chroma. I need your help.”

    Or: Verso is trying to find a way out. Gustave helps.

    Summary

    "This feeling that all my thoughts and memories… that they’re not mine, that they’ve been put into my head by somebody else… does it ever go away?”

    It comes out almost pleadingly, the desperation Gustave tried to suppress for months now bleeding into his voice.

    Something softens in Verso’s expression.

    Or: the Maelle ending. Coming to terms with being brought back and repainted. Gustave is looking for some answers, so he goes to the one person who can provide them. Verso is absolutely done with this life, but feels obligated to at least talk to him.

    They find that being a copy of a dead man is less unbearable when you're not alone.

    Summary

    ”Gustave lights a lamp in the kitchen, rolls up his sleeves and starts making dinner.

    He does it, step by step, follows the old family recipe even though he’s exhausted to the very bone-marrow, even though his muscles are sore and the lethargy drags him towards the floor boards like a lead weight.”

    In which Gustave makes food, Verso keeps showing up and they slowly start healing together.

    Or; five times Gustave cooks something and one time it's Verso's turn.
