I do think.....Maelle could have chosen better even if she was determined to enslave Verso's remaining soul for her own purposes, by *not repainting Verso.* But that's very "wow a sixteen year old sure is a bad choice for a god, isn't she" in keeping with the rest of her, like the "well I'll just kill Alicia" (and I have a complicated feeling about the disfigurement too; Aline's journal talks about how she cannot even look at Alicia but then she repainted her the same way as....punishment for whom? But also like Maelle's now spent sixteen years being able to move and talk and she doesn't want to go back to NOT having that, which I can understand, but that could have been framed way better and wasn't.
