Summary
His eyes are what she most yearns after: dark, kind, belying a steel-forged will. It would not do to proceed too rashly, so for him she uses her hands, sketching with deliberation and precision, then glazing in layer over layer of paint, modeling the contours with her finest brushes and richest pigments, until he is perfect: she striates titanium laced with cadmium yellow into his flyaways where the light would catch; swipes in a mustache and heavy brows in broad strokes and stipples on stubble dabbed with just the barest traitorous pinpoints of snowy age; varnishes in washes of ochre-, cinnabar- and azure-touched white turpentine to bring forward the protrusion of his brow from the fold of his hooded lids; and finally, in the deepest seaglass she can mix from her purest indigo and brightest vermillion, pools the warm nadirs of his gaze.

Maelle paints, and Gustave contemplates Verso's choices.
Or: a coda to Maelle's ending (but likely quite some time before that epilogue scene in the opera house).
