Why did Pinkerton go back to Japan?
It wasn’t to take Dolore. During the Yamadori scene, Goro says that the signal has been sent for Pinkerton’s ship (segnalata è già la nave di Pinkerton), but that was before Sharpless or Pinkerton even knew about the child. Pinkerton also made it obvious that he wanted Sharpless to be the one to break the news to Butterfly, so why was he coming back to Japan in the first place? Just more nondescript naval duties?
