Summary
Verso was brushing, no, playing with Monoco's hair. He carded his fingers through the thick grey fur, splitting it into sections and twiddling with it. Maelle was reminded of how the other girls at school would sit and braid each other's hair, and how they'd turned their backs to her when she tried to join in. The sting of the memory mixed with the constant ache of loss in her chest, and she crossed her arms again, trying to push the feelings away. Better to be angry.

Summary
Maelle looks at the mirror shards scattered across the floor, a disarray of sharp and jagged pieces that can never be put back together again. "I know you’re not him..." she admits in a shaky whisper. Her tear-filled eyes find Verso, the blues and greys of paint starting to unravel the edges of them, mocking him. "But you deserve to be happy,” she says. We deserve to be happy, she means.
“I deserve to be myself,” Verso says, and it sounds like a plea more than anything else. The skin around his left eye aches, as if it’s waiting for his scar’s return.
Maelle sighs before she sweeps her hand through the air, calling for her rapier. It appears in a flutter of gold petals, glimmering in the dim light of the bathroom. Her eyes are cast in shadow and her disappointed smile is somewhat crooked. "Alright. Let's try again."
or: Maelle wants a happy end for everyone she cares about, and she will keep trying until even Verso gets it right.

Summary
Verso lived through the fire, as did Alicia, but he didn't wake up. He remained unconscious, and when his family realised that he and Alicia had been found in the atelier during the fire, they realised that Verso has gone into the canvas.
Aline went in after him, believing she could wake him up. She finds Verso, who doesn't remember anything. In his pain addled mind he ended up creating Lumiere, and a painted version of his family, and they were living together happily. Aline helps him remember, but all he could feel was the fire and the burning agony of his body, and so she paints over him and erases his memories again to keep him safe. Renoir then goes in to wake up his son himself, and drag his wife out the canvas, resulting in the Fracture. Expedition Zero goes out to search for their loved ones and rescue them, and inevitably find out what happened from Cleo. Now Verso has to stop his family from tearing apart his canvas, and try keep his mother from constantly erasing his memories to keep him compliant. It goes about as well as you might expect.
(Basically, Verso lived, but is trapped in the canvas by his mother, and now has to deal with the horror of having his family raging war inside his canvas)

Summary
Even before the fire, Alicia Dessendre’s life was far from idyllic. Born into a family of renowned artists, gifted with the ability to bring her paintings to life, she feels like an impostor in their luminous world. Her sanctuary is Verso, her older brother and silent torment.
But Paris does not forgive those who stray from the path carved by blood and legacy. While Alicia clings to poetry and dreams, Verso drowns in melodies. They both are haunted by secrets, shame, and a felling they cannot name.
A slow-burning story of forbidden connection, buried art, and the ache of growing into yourself — or breaking apart.

Summary
After the destruction of the Canvas, Alicia Dessendre retreats behind silence, scars, and the weight of memory. Her right eye is gone, her voice nearly lost, her world reduced to measured days inside the Dessendre Manor. Outside, Paris moves on, while Alicia struggles to find a reason to keep painting or even to keep living. Then a Writer appears, the last person her family should ever allow near. What begins as wary distance becomes a fragile thread, tested by the thin line between creation and ruin. This is a story of grief and memory, of two souls drawn together by Chroma itself. A slow, inexorable bond strong enough to defy the past, to challenge what was lost, and to reshape the world.
A continuation of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, set after the game’s ending and expanding the world beyond the Canvas.

Summary
He plays all the sharp, loud notes, he plays and plays until it bleeds, until it reverberates in his skull in a relentless cacophony. Until it echoes in the hall, up to the glass ceiling.
A sharp movement in the audience catches his eye, beyond the halo of the stage light.
At first he thinks it’s Maelle, that she’s spotted him doing something that she doesn’t like, doesn’t fit the perfect image of it in her head, but…
It’s not Maelle.
No, it’s Gustave.
Gustave knows something's wrong with Lumiére. With himself. With Maelle. And he knows he'll find answers with the mysterious pianist. And Verso sees.

Summary
“That’s Lune,” Sophie whispered. “You two would make a lovely couple… Or maybe something already happened…”
Gustave didn’t respond.
He would have been lying if he claimed the thought had never crossed his mind. Even Maelle, with her too-perceptive teenage intuition, had already teased him about it. And now, Sophie was joining in.But every time that idea began to take shape in his mind, a shadow would sweep it away. A shadow bearing Sophie’s name.
Why this obsessive loyalty to a story that had ended?
Perhaps because a part of him had never truly turned the page.And now, it was too late.
In a few hours, Sophie would be nothing but a memory. They would leave for Expedition 33.
And both of them would likely be dead within the year.Maybe that was his greatest regret.
What If : in the heart of the expedition, buried feelings could change the course of everything?

Summary
— C’est Lune, souffla Sophie. Vous feriez un joli couple, tous les deux...Ou peut-être qu’il s’est déjà passé quelque chose…
Gustave ne répondit pas. Il aurait menti s’il avait dit qu’il n’y avait jamais pensé. Maelle elle-même, avec son flair d’adolescente trop lucide, l’avait déjà taquiné sur le sujet. Et maintenant, c’était Sophie qui s’y mettait.
Mais à chaque fois que cette idée prenait forme dans son esprit, une ombre la balayait aussitôt. Une ombre qui portait le nom de Sophie.
Pourquoi cette fidélité maladive à une histoire finie ? Peut-être parce qu’une partie de lui n’avait jamais vraiment tourné la page.
Et maintenant, il était trop tard. Dans quelques heures, Sophie ne serait plus qu’un souvenir. Ils partiraient pour l’Expédition 33.
Et tous deux seraient probablement morts l’an prochain.
Peut-être que c’était ça, son plus grand regret.Et Si : au cœur de l’expédition, des sentiments refoulés pouvaient changer le cours des choses ?
