Now that we know what Luocha & Co are up to and that they have a piece of Tayzzyronth in his coffin, its time to speculate about how and why this plan of theirs could actually kill an Aeon.
And boy do I have a wild take on it.

Penacony has been SO much fun, but it was also incredibly DENSE. So many motives, flashbacks, loops, twists, and lies were stuffed into these three quests that I thought it would be extremely useful to break everything down and re-order the events in a way thatll be easy to remember for the future!
Hope you all enjoyed the Planet of Festivities as much as I have!
Join the fun in Honkai: Star Rail!

![[4.1] Speculating Arlecchinos Possible Identity - A Genshin Impact Theory](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/XbOcDMHSQEU/mqdefault.jpg "[4.1] Speculating Arlecchinos Possible Identity - A Genshin Impact Theory
Im not the first to suspect or suggest that Arlecchino could be a Hilichurl... but I thought it would be fun to dig into the possibility anyway... I did not expect to stumble upon a possible identity for the Fourth Ranked Harbinger, nor did I expect the rabbit hole to lead me to... her.
I guess thats what you get when you mix Hilichurls, Alice in Wonderland, and a fiery orphanage director.
**DISCLAIMER**
This theory contains WILD SPECULATIONS, as well as some STRETCHES, very big MENTAL LEAPS, and FALLIBLE INTERPRETATION. If that bothers you... well, youve been warned. Sometimes I just like to explore outlandish possibilities no matter how unlikely they may seem to be at the time of creation.
Also, sorry for the quality of the 4.1 footage. It was accidentally recorded at 1366x768 instead of 1920x1080. This will be fixed for future videos.
