themes: (in)justice, illusion, deceit - both lyney and arlecchino agree on the idea that everything’s not real and it’s all for show. arle’s the “director”, in charge of the “actors” placements with the use of a “script”. arle made a deal with furina, her targeted audience, to put on a “show” for her since the hydro archon loves drama in order to get her gnosis. even newspapers and photos can be illusions, and deceitful. they don’t contain the full picture of events. they say seeing is believing, but there are more than meets the eye.

lyney and lynette (and to an extent, freminet) will deceive us at some point during the story - the reps of each nation helped us out so far. lyney and lynette are magicians, who aim to create experiences for their audiences that seem impossible or inexplicable (e.g., sleight of hand and escape stunts). they say that a true magician never reveals their secrets, but everyone will find out eventually. magicians and keen observers have exposed other magicians before. we, the traveler and paimon, may act as keen observers and expose what lyney and lynette are hiding from us. i heard that those two and freminet are from the house of hearth, and work for arle, which does make sense when arlecchino said that they’re all actors.
