Lyney and Lynette have zero knowledge about Crucabena at all. + Correcting the spelling of "Traveller" to "Traveler" to be more consistent.

** Arlecchino spends almost the entire quest being nightmare fuel incarnate.
*** While the House of the Hearth is a much kinder place than it was before, one simple fact remains. It, first and foremost, is a Fatui Intelligence division, and thus [[ResignationsNotAccepted members can not leave.]]

*** The quest ends with Arlecchino declaring she wants Lyney to take her place as the Knave one day, even after giving him the option to leave and remove his memories. While she offers him some encouraging words, Lyney walks away from the encounter considering her as the "hero" of the story, which while not strictly inaccurate, does create a rather alarming HonorThyAbuser vibe when you consider he only thinks this way because she simply chose ''not'' to outright kill him and his siblings and he feels indebted to her for that.
