Extremely odd. I wonder if that's part of why they were recruiting adventurers from Mondstadt for this - to make it harder for people to ask questions.
[the katheryne in mondstadt only had so much information to give them, after all, and it's not like they could readily ask questions of the person who posted the commission from there. and traveling to sumeru had taken enough time that there really hadn't been the opportunity to do any more digging once she'd arrived.]
Depending on what they find... well, if they're not going to be honest with us, we're not obligated to be honest with them, are we?
It's not like they told us to give them a detailed report on what we uncover.
[ the request was pretty straightforward? like, almost too straightforward, considering missing people are involved, so you would assume there would be a lot more directions attached if you were actually concerned about their safety. ]
...I think if it's actually as shady as it seems like it might be right now, we may end up needing to watch our backs depending on what we find.
[if they stumble across information that whoever posted this commission doesn't want getting out there... well, it wouldn't be the first time someone's tried to kill her. it probably won't be the last, either.]
Probably better that an average adventurer didn't take this one. I think we're both better equipped to handle this than most people.
[ well. that is certainly true. he gives her a curious look, but doesn't prod more, since she could just mean that they have visions. which is the normal assumption to make. ]

What do you think about all of it?

Mm. [ hmmm. ] Do you think they're still alive.
[ the researchers. the villagers. ]

No, I don't think they are. Not unless they got very, very lucky.
