Why does the painted Alicia have a burned face?
Another point that is often discussed concerns the (painted) Alicia, the young woman we meet early on with the mask. After all, she belongs, just like Renoir and Verso, to the painted Dessendre family. If the painter Aline painted her family – why did she then give her daughter the burn scars back and take away her voice like in the real world?
The reason for this is that Aline holds a lot of blame towards her daughter Alicia for Verso’s death. Verso sacrificed himself for Alicia to save her. Because Aline blames Alicia for this and is trapped in the stages of grief, she finds it “just” that her daughter must suffer because of it. Therefore, the painted version of Alicia also has the exact same wounds as Alicia in the real world.
