Summary
It had been five years since their gods had been forced out of the Canvas. Five years, for them, in which Gustave had had to wrap his head around not only the events after his death — of Canvas Worlds and a grieving family, of a dead brother and the remains of a soul pushed past its breaking point — but also of their future. A future they now, apparently, had for years and years to come, if his friends were to be believed.

Summary
After Maelle takes over the canvas, Verso struggles to find meaning in the new Lumière. At least, until Gustave offers him to participate in a project together. Slowly, Verso starts to see the man he left to die in a different light, as he also struggles with the guilt of knowing that he's slowly falling in love with him.

Summary
Verso knows his soul is not original to him. A stitched-up, fractured, and glued-together thing, stained with memories not his own and heavy with the grief of unimaginable loss. His very existence is a farce, a tragedy played out in canvas and ink. He wants nothing so much as to end it. To give the ragged remains of a soul back to the one who created him, let her find someone else to carry the burden and the memory of the man to whom it once belonged. And yet. And yet, still, buried deep inside him is the desire to make this second-hand soul his own. To take the old discarded thing and make it into something new. To live, as they all deserve to live. All he needs is someone to show him the way.

Summary
“Time is a flat circle. Everything we've ever done or will do, we're gonna do over and over and over again.”
—Verso has seen this game played over and over again. He's tired. So if he has to spill a little blood to make sure he no longer has to see death everywhere he turns, then he's more than willing to do so.
It changes nothing, yet everything all at once.or,
Five times Verso dies for a member of Expedition 33, and one time, they show him he doesn't have to.

Summary
He plunges his sword into the ground — a familiar, practiced motion. The world pauses for a moment, and he sees the purple threads of blighted chroma ensnaring Gustave; pulls, yanking them towards himself. The pulsing chroma freezes for a second, tightening around the engineer. Then, like a pouncing predator, jumps at Verso.
The world starts moving again. A wave of nausea and fatigue almost knocks Verso to the ground, and it’s a miracle that he manages to dodge the next attack.
Gustave is staring at him, trying to process what just happened.
“Run,” Verso croaks.
Or: 5 times Verso carried Gustave’s burden and the 1 time Gustave carried his.
