#fading boy

So I was looking into interactions with the fading boy aka soul of verso

And I noticed that he loves anything and everything on the canvas and thinks they are alive and real just like outside the canvas. How he wants to keep this world alive but his family is in pain and causing everyone and themselves pain by being in the canvas.

So he wants to stop because of it.

However... What if he managed to get angry at everyone instead of giving up?

What if he got upset his sister was causing suffering to painted versions of herself and others? What if he got upset his mother and father were causing chaos in the canvas because they couldn't let grief go and stop staying in the canvas over his death?

Just imagine a boss fight where the soul of verso brought everyone to life, no matter what they were and filled them in on what was happening. That he was tired of everyone's grief causing pain to everyone. His family, the painted creations of himself, clea, Renoir and aline.

So you know how the expedition invites the curator to join camp? Let them first meet the fading boy and, recognizing he looks like the curator invites him to join camp.

The boy is excited that the expedition is exploring and adventuring that he gives hints and just so much exposition about locations and gestrals + esquie and francois

Also I don't think curator will notice him bc reasons.

The boy is just following them, avoiding curator bc he is playing hide and seek or is waiting until he and paintress are done fighting.

Calls maelle his sister, don't know what his relationship with the others are but I just like him enjoying them talking to him and they talk about their passions.

So when painted Renoir comes along, fading boy is all "no bonus dad! No killing!"

It's a shock to p!Renoir and p!verso bc I don't think they knew about the fading boy able to interact with people, know about what is happening and why and defend expeditioners.

Meanwhile Gustave and maelle are shocked he called the white haired man bonus dad. And that the defence worked. Bc Renoir loves his children.

Meanwhile verso joins, I like to think fading boy calls him bonus brother as well or his twin. Also tell him where painted Clea and Simon are.

I just really want the boy to join and make a difference.

I want fading boy to just be playing and excited his mom is playing with his canvas, it's weird she made Lumiere and people but the more the merrier!

Then Dad comes and they are fighting, his world hurts, people are dying and clea made monsters to harm the people in his canvas.

I just want him to find the painted dessnedres and be all 'bonus dad, bonus siblings. Mom, dad and clea are fighting. Can I stay with you and play, staying out of their way until they are done?"

I want them to find out from fading boy what is happening before clea does her thing to painted clea and Simon.
