the inhabitants of the painting have been reduced to her play things, all of their agency stripped from them.
I felt like only Verso had become her plaything. Everyone else seemed normal.
Though I may be misremembering, but I felt one point of the endings was that they were fucking over the other one individually -- removing Verso's free will / forcing Maelle into a life she hates -- while everyone else continued on as they normally would.
