    Summary

    In order to bring Gustave back as himself, whole, Maelle had to infuse him with Pure Chroma, something wielded only by Painters.

    This Pure Chroma responds to intent, just like it does for Painters.

    As life begins again - Gustave does not hesitate to support all of his friends and family - but now that support comes with a cost that he might no longer afford to be able to pay.

    (Alternative Title: 5 Times Gustave Used His Pure Chroma to Help Others, and the One Time Someone Used It to Help Him)

    Summary

    “I want to die.”

    That gets his attention — Gustave’s eyes fly wide open, and he takes a step back. Like Verso is a lunatic who is better to be avoided. “I beg your pardon?”

    “I want to die,” Verso repeats. “And I can’t do it on my own. You’re one of the smartest men in Lumière, you’re good with chroma. I need your help.”

    Or: Verso is trying to find a way out. Gustave helps.

    A small au with Flambert as the end goal, where Robert was never recruited by SDN, so he needed to adapt to his new life.

    Summary

    When Maelle brings Gustave back, there is a look in his eyes. Mutable and poised. Verso thinks he understands, but he underestimates it. And when he is lured into a darkened alleyway outside the central square, he expects anything but a gun to his head.

    Verso discovers that Gustave was painted with some of Julie's memories, and he is forced to confront every decision he has ever made in the name of the Dessendre family.

    On the cusp of summer, an expedition begins.

    An epilogue to Maelle's ending.
