the arknights besties haven't said anything yet but. viviana and virtuosa are lesbians. they're sapphics. they're going through the horrors together and they're going to kiss each other on the mouth once they're in my account.

Hortus De Escapismo: Arturia thoughts
I did say I might write this. Unmarked spoilers below the cut, etc. I will note that I haven't read Guide Ahead, the other Lateran event just yet.
With that out of the way let's start on a divisive but intriguing character, Arturia Giallo:
If you read people's description of her before the event came out you'd think she murdered half the monastary and a dog too, but her role in the story is quite minor. Arturia's emotional amplification Arts act as a backdrop and catalyst in the story, but it's never truly clear how much of what happens doesn't happen in a world where she's not present. So what is she here for? Well:
Arturia appears mostly at the beginning and end of the main conflict. While she does intervene in the middle, such as arranging for Federico to run into the little bird babies, she's mostly there for the audience. She serves as a warning as to what kind of story we're in for:
(realizing I've been writing this for too long) And at the end, she somewhat teases Federico about his wavering will and hesitation through the story. With that in mind, I think when evaluating Arturia in Hortus De Escapismo, I think the closest analogue is this:
Side note, the way that she presses Federico's gun against her head and tempts him to pull the trigger? Love it. Great. Fucked up little angel girl

damnatio memoriae (hortis de escapismo spoilers)
“Federico,” Oren says, leaning up against the stone archway as he watches Federico fold a series of dusty, once-white blankets, “why did you shoot Arturia Giallo, if you knew it wouldn’t do anything?”
“It was a warning.” His voice is low, clipped, but not in frustration—it’s just how he speaks.
Oren raises a thick eyebrow. “A warning? A six-inch shell to the skull is a hell of a way to give a warning.”
“Yes,” Federico says, and does not elaborate.
Federico, Oren, and what might possess a man to try and shoot his sister in the head.
