Yes, but… The “Heterodyne Boys” interrupted the tradition. Agatha restarts the clan continuity, not just picks it up. A good question is why it works so well, and not just in the wake of sparky enthusiasm, but even in absence. Sure, Van was raised in the Wulfenbach empire era, and he appreciates good deal-making, so it’s no surprise when «tourists will love it!» is on his mind, that’s just how things were done. But even the Jägers seem eager to embrace less crude ways (at least, as long as it’s not completely “boring”).
So here’s a good question: Neena and Violetta turn this much to… look at what exactly? Consider the previous page. Mechanicsburg with all its weirdness is straight ahead, as well as the wall with giant statues of Agatha. Van, looking all official and snappy-dressed, is ahead and to the left. Dimo is ahead and to the right, at the end of that ramp, other Jägers are mostly also ahead and on both sides. Yet these two exercise their necks to stare at something right and behind. This must be something curious indeed.
Violetta is checking for threats? She is responsible for Agatha's safety. She checks right, Zeetha checks left. Neena has never been to Mechanicsburg before and is looking all round?
