Both endings are incredibly sad, but only one made me cry and that's Verso's ending because it hurt to see all my friends in the canvas snapped. I chose Maelle's ending but I think anyone who did wasn't sure exactly what they were doing and after the fight, Verso makes it painfully clear to you to the point that you have to feel some regret about it. Verso at the piano and Maelle's face warp gave me goosebumps. Both endings succeed in different ways at affecting how you feel and seen with the context of the other they provoke good questions.

I agree. I picked Maelle's ending but she's no saint. Keeping Verso alive in the canvas, more or less against his will, is not benevolent. Much in the same way Verso wiping out the entire world of the canvas is a poor trade off as well. I'd love to see some DLC or a sequel really explore how these worlds within a canvas work.

I felt pretty compelled to go with Maelle since not choosing basically Thanos snaps an entire planet. But Lumiere's existence basically hinged on torturing a child. And the Maelle in reality would basically rot away like a junkie if you chose her side. I couldn't do it, but the looks from Lune and Sciel were soul-rending.

One poster pointed out that in Maelle's ending, Maelle could always leave the canvas at a later date and even possibly find a way to keep the canvas from being destroyed after she exited. Perhaps, this goes against the writer's intent with the ending.
