    Summary

    "...Alicia is going to die, Clea."
    The corridor felt entirely devoid of air. "What?" she whispered.


    Paris, 1905. The Expedition is over, and darkness has settled.

    For the remaining Painters of the Dessendre family, survival is a heavy toll. Broken by trauma, Alicia wants to heal. Consumed by grief, Clea wants blood. In a world that demands their ruin, their unbreakable sisterly bond is the only thing standing between them and the suffocating darkness.

    A post-canon saga of grief, sisterhood, and fate.

    Summary

    Ever since the tragedy three years ago, Alicia Dessendre has lived her broken life in bitter loneliness. Despite still having the Canvas that she has desperately fought for, her life outside it is full of searing pain, cold isolation, and the guilt for her brother's death. When not in Canvas, she either reads or writes her own books about her adventures in Canvas. But all that is not living, and she knew that. A change is coming to her life when she meets Alphonse Toussaint, an equally broken man, who enters her life by mere chance, but manages to influence it more than he could initially imagine. With his own despairs and burdens on his shoulders, maybe together they may dispel it all, ending the curse of both of their families.

    Summary

    My name is Maelle.

    I am an orphan.

    But I did- Do have an older brother.
    ...
    This town was empty, aside from Maelle. Her footsteps disturb a silence that’s been settled long before her arrival. The air felt tainted with her breath, the town shied away from her sight.

    She shouldn’t be here.

    Maelle rationalized that the feeling is normal, she just isn’t used to feeling like this when she is alone.

    There is a comfort in her solitude, and though she is granted that now, the displacement rips her away from such. There is nothing else for her to do but continue forward.

    So that’s what she will do. Even if it disturbs the town's own seclusion. Disrupting each other, in a way.

    E33 Silent Hill au from Maelle's perspective.

    Summary

    Verso saw Maelle's fate in his mother's heartbreaking descent into all-consuming obsession. He didn't want this for her. His decision was clear. The canvas had to be erased. And he got his say. It was being erased before his very eyes. But... why wasn't he? Why was he... being pulled out into reality?

    [ In an anguished whisper, he exhaled, “I’m tired… I’m so tired… I can finally rest now. I know this is hurting you. But can you be happy for me? Just a little? In your own big world… in your little room… would you think of me and spare a smile for me? Would you remember me as I am, not as you wished me to be?”

    Heaving one last sigh, Verso closed his eyes. He was finally at peace. He could feel the beginning of his own disintegration.

    But then…

    In a last ditch effort, Maelle threw her arms around his neck and clung. Hard. He could feel her nails digging into his skin.

    “I’m not letting you go,” she promised, half devoted, half feral. ]

    Summary

    Her hands turn into fists, her nails digging into her own palms. Her vision blurs at the tears that form around her eyes. The phantom snake around her neck mocks her, embracing her further into its body, until she finds it hard to breathe.

    “I’m going to kill them. Every single one of them. I will settle this, once and for all.”

    “I know, and I won’t stop you.”

    This may be her solitary war, but she needs all the help she can get, nonetheless. She may prefer doing this all alone, to exact vengeance her way, but part of her really would rather not. Renoir is already out of the picture, and she didn’t want Alicia to get involved in this, either. No one will lay a finger against her sister ever again.

    A proposition crosses her mind.

    In which Clea finds herself at an impasse in her solitary war, unable to find a lead. Against her better judgment, she seeks the help of Gustave, a bonafide Writer.

    “So we got an anonymous report, about some family in the 16ème. You never know, with those, it’s either someone’s ex-spouse wasting our time or the worst shit you ever saw.”

    Emma pours herself a glass and immediately takes a swig. Her face looks hollow in the dimming light of March.

    “It was the second one,” she continues, pressing hard fingers onto the bridge of her nose. “I get to this huge fucking manor, and this lady opens the door, looking down on me like I’m dirt on the bottom of her shoe, right? Refusing to let me in, telling me nothing in there is my business, the works. You know it’s bad when they won’t let you in.”

    In which Emma is a social worker, Gustave is a teacher and Alicia learns to live.

    Summary

    The more Maelle progressed, the more painfully aware she was of what she couldn’t gain back.

    The first on that list was her voice.

    ------
    ‘What was that, with your hands?’

    ‘French Sign Language,’ he answered on his little black notebook. The three words were short, straightforward. They hit her like a tidal wave.
