Yeah, no I get it. Knowing your existence is simultaneously painful for everyone around you AND you are a shadow of someone else with a face and memories that are both yours and not fucking sucks dude. Every memory that uniquely belongs to you is make-believe playing with the deceased's toys and every memory that isn't, carries the pain of knowing that it was of what could arguably be considered a better version of you.

He did not choose to exist as this effigy and the Paintress (es?) keep him alive to suffer the agony of carrying the love for the him that isn't really him. He's denied closure, autonomy, and true growth. Kept in some sort-of-alive state to tear up any granulation tissue that proper grieving for the him that isn't him would have facilitated between the Dessandre family.

AND ALSO, RENOIR IS COMPLETELY JUSTIFIED. BOTH OF THEM. Holy fuck. Like, I didn't think I would ever empathize with this raggedy old bitch that offed the big homie Gustave and now here I am, heartbroken that this man has to watch the woman he loves lose her boy over and over again and lose herself in trying to drown herself in memories of him. And his daughter seems to be trying to follow suit. Doing the healthy thing for everyone requires him to kill the final part of his son knowing his wife will probably never forgive him for as long as they live.
