Repentant Forger and the Weird Painting (spoilers)

Hi Everyone, I'm after a bit of advice. I've gotten the Repentant Forger to clean up a painting for me and he has removed a couple of layers but there appears that there is more work to be done. Unfortunately, browsing the forum, I get the impression that if I keep cajoling the forger to clean up the painting I might hurt him / lose him as an acquaintance.
Could someone please let me know, broadly speaking, if it's worth pushing him to get any further?
If this is fate locked content, please PM me.
My Scholar of the Correspondence is at 7 at the moment.

This may not be the answer you want to hear, but that storyline -- which is indeed Fate-locked -- gets most of its emotional and narrative weight from forcing you to make the choice in a state of uncertainty. In my opinion, you'd lose more than you'd gain from reading PMs about this -- even if they were just 'Yes, it's worth it' or 'No, it isn't.' Most storylines are Fate-locked because Failbetter need to eat. This one is Fate-locked for another reason, which is that it's acutely sensitive to spoilers.
If you still definitely want to know, though, post again or message me and I'll PM you.

Curious! I just forced myself to the end of the Uncovering Secrets storyline (I am sorry to lose the Forger, but it was brutally IC of my character to do it) and it would be nice to know this terrible decision might pay off somehow. Haven't seen the card either, but I'll be on the lookout.
