Using a Double QTE Trigger on Rosetta's Catherine will not apply the effect on the next wave; having another set on Karenina bypasses this problem.
Double QTE Trigger: activate the QTE of the character who is not holding Da Vinci, wait until they finish their QTE animation and disappear from the field, activate the Da Vinci user's QTE and trigger the first character's QTE again (via Da Vinci's effect).
