#rather ironic.. also maybe lore relevant but i dont have the brains to analyze that

I remember in that Inazuma quest Lyudochka said to her teacher that if they go through with poisoning the Watatsumi Island water, there will be more orphans, but the teacher treated that as a bonus to the plan rather than it being an actual part of it. Even Lyudochka couldn't understand (or forgive) why her teacher would disregard the plight of orphans when he himself grew up that way. Even when we do that domain for the end of that quest, two Fatui agents talk about how the teacher enacted that whole plan without telling Arlecchino, so it wasn't her idea and she didn't even know what was going on. It's also kinda interesting how Childe says that Arlecchino would betray anyone if it interests her, but the grown Fatui agents we've met in the game all talk about each other as having bonds as close as family and display loyalty towards each other.

yeah I know about the collateral damage reasoning for the watatsumi orphans and the supervisor thing; I still think it's unfortunate that they placed the blame solely on the teacher instead of having arlecchino know about it, since it would have been interesting to get insight into arlecchino's Thoughts on the orphans she takes care of. I suppose it wouldn't just be a sidequest if a harbinger was personally overseeing the operation though so it's more convenient if it's just written off rip

about the childe voiceline (I presume it's a voiceline), yeah that's rather interesting.. although I do think there's a difference between the fatui npcs, agents and whatnot and the harbingers. like after the scaramouche dottore debacle and how none of them knew where scaramouche and dottore went after scara took inazuma's gnosis, I don't think the harbingers have any loyalty to each other at all, and maybe not even that much loyalty to the tsaritsa. arlecchino's gotta have her own motivations for joining which I suppose will be revealed in due time
