    Summary

    It’s her own chroma reaching out to her, sweet and cool, scented with smoke and sweat. Aline lifts her head. Verso stares back—her beautiful boy, caked in blood, white petals fluttering around his mangled form. He smiles. All the clumsy stitching across her heart—her desperate attempts to self-soothe, to heal, to pull herself back together—tear at the seams.

    “Do you recognize me?” Verso whispers. The weight of more than a century hangs off his shoulders. It does nothing to touch the childish longing in his pale eyes, or the feverish, desperate way he clutches at her.

    “Always." Aline cups his cheek. She strokes her thumb over the scar marring his face, a lone imperfection worn so proudly. “Verso.”

    (Verso leaps free of the painting. After decades apart, he and Aline share a final conversation).

    Two weeks after Alicia decided to stay in the canvas, Clea wakes up to an ominous letter asking for her help written by her supposedly frozen in place sister.

    This feels like as a good excuse as any to visit Verso's canvas again.
