Genshin Impact 'The Final Gift': Fatui Harbingers' Slumber Party — Japanese Fans React

Genshin Impact's new animated short "The Final Gift" dropped on the game's Japanese channel, and instead of villains it shows four of the Fatui Harbingers — Sandrone, Columbina, La Signora (Rosalyne), and Arlecchino — having a private, pajama-clad slumber party. The most-liked Japanese reactions weren't about the lore drops; they were about the gut-punch of seeing this warmth at all. The recurring theme is the cruelty of the gap: the comment thread keeps circling the fact that these are characters Japanese players only ever knew as cold antagonists — "The Knave" relaxed enough to laugh out loud and lose a pillow fight, the tsundere Marionette gone completely soft, Columbina just standing at the door singing — and above all Rosalyne, the caring big-sister of the group, who in the main story dies in Inazuma before showing a millimeter of this side. Fans rewrite the family roles (mischievous mother, watchful father), debate whether she's a villain or just "someone who loved an ordinary love and drowned in it," and note how her in-game lines now land completely differently. It builds to one bittersweet wish that only a Genshin player would phrase exactly this way.
