I think MC have tunnel vision on someone trying to cause burns but not kill the kids, could very well have tried to kill the kids as burning oil is pretty hard to put out, but is hard to aim for the right part of the body by the roof so if the victim had scars or died it was fine either way
She's also not considering the possibilities that they were just trying to kill the boy, rather than their daughter, or that they WERE just trying to scar the daughter, but to ensure a marriage from their side.
There's also the possibility that they were trying to kill both children.
There's also the possibility that someone was walking about in the dark attic, thus needing a lantern, slipped on a banana peel whilst flailing their arms wildly, hurling the lamp out the window and in the direction of the children.![]()
Feel like she should also be considering what happened to her while she was at the house.
She got stopped because people didn't recognize her. She had trouble getting to Ati because she didn't know the way around. She barely made it to the opposite side of the courtyard where Ati was and a bunch of people saw her.
Meanwhile the culprit was able to get to a point right above Ati and the other kid, drop the lantern, and get away without anyone noticing.
Overall takeaway: seems like the kind of scheme that can only be pulled on your home turf.
