Still spoiled under here As you do. Very healthy, great decisions! Clea like oh yeah just blame me for all your problems TYPICAL.
I would agree that her trying to steer them away from the Monolith might be the first signs of cracking, especially if the painted versions aren't the type to deviate from the plan/object/express their own agency. Like why is Clea so uncompromising all of a sudden? Or such a worrywart? Which also might reveal cracks of the real Clea because her family not listening to her is a trigger in a way it wouldn't be for painted!Clea - hints of the anger peeking out as they get closer and she realizes she can't stop this without drastic measures. And the deeper conversation might also do it just because in real Clea's experience, her family doesn't DO that with her anymore. They don't talk to her. :| Not since Verso died. :| :| Which might be why she stays and tries persuasion: It's her own temptation. But alas.
I can see Renoir suspecting it happened before the Monolith but letting Verso and Alicia believe it happened during - another one of his 'kind' lies. Especially to prevent the other kids from beating themselves up for not noticing.
