I think "verso" had the better/more moral ending. I think maelle/alicia made the wrong choice since she also traps verso along with being stuck in a fantasy world, but given how the world building is it's also keeping everyone who was painted "alive" (sciel, Gustave, the gestrals, etc etc etc), which I think is the positive part of that ending.

Also worth noting, Alicia's real life does in fact blow. And her sister might be part of the writers who tried to kill the rest of her family. So that's an additional wrinkle.

Both are sad in their own way though.

Also the music for E33 is incredible.
