Spoiler for 2.1 Trailblaze:

They actually made me sympathize with Aventurine and it worked. This was kinda like his character quest if you think about it. I'm amazed by the steps that he made throughout the story. Using not just 2 but 3 Cornerstones as bargaining chips, and actually destroying one into pieces to hide it, and using Ratio to double cross Sunday. He can be this reckless knowing he'll come out on top coz of the luck blessing he received. It's amazing and also pretty suicidal too, which makes sense given his history. His kit is also not bad but given the content on MoC and PF, don't think I need him. Plus there's Robin and Firefly in the future.
On a side note, I guess this explains why Topaz was pretty confident in facing off against the Nameless in the Jarilo-VI Interlude. The executives in IPC having these Cornerstones from an Emanator of Preservation as a trump card certainly paints things differently for Topaz. Though with her actions in Belobog, she got her stone confiscated it seems and used by Aventurine. And we're not done with the IPC yet with the intro of Jade, who has something cooking after what Aventurine did. She's something alright to have lent her stone to Aventurine.

Kinda sad that Acheron and TB didn't have much interaction this time. I wanted to learn more of her red lines and the connection they had at the beginning of Penacony. And she expressed concern again to the TB when she asked Welt about them which really solidified my trust in her despite Aventurine throwing shade on her identity. Though I like the bonding she did with Welt. I left playing HI3 though before I encountered him and the other character Kevin but I've gotten the gist of it at least from looking it up on reddit. Acheron being the Mei expy probably helped in him trusting her. Establishing this was probably what the writer Shaoji wanted for this patch story. And there's still time for Acheron and TB to bond given that another Galaxy Ranger(most definitely Boothill) is on the way to hunt her.

I honestly got spoiled early on in 2.0 about the Sam=Firefly thing so it didn't surprise me. This was probably the story spoiler they mentioned in the 2.1 stream. With the hints given around it's probably not hard to guess it. One thing I noticed when Sam and Acheron were talking, at least in the JP voice over, is that Sam was using keigo(polite language) at times when talking to her. His rough exterior doesn't fit the polite tone of his voice so that's probably also a clue, maybe. Wonder how his combat kit and voice over is. Is Firefly the main personality or is it Sam? I'll pull for her/him still.
And connecting to her still being alive, this raises more questions about Robin's "death". Given how she's playable next patch, and obviously she's not dead yet even with the story painting her as such, what is up with her then? Did she set up her death to do something else? Something about the legacy of the Watchmaker and the whole Penacony thing I guess?

Sunday mentions something about a Master so I'm guessing there's another mastermind around. He didn't look like the true mastermind of this story at all, plus he got taken down by Gallagher like that at the end. Screams more of mid-boss. Though I didn't expect that about Gallagher(didn't get a copy of him given how I got Acheron in just a 10-pull.) Why are 4 stars so sus?(Tingyun, Gallagher, and maybe Misha). I guess the Hounds asking who is Gallagher is the big clue that he's sus. There's still more mysteries about the Watchmaker's Legacy and we're not close to knowing it yet. There's still the thing about Clockie and the power it gave to the Trailblazer that they used several times in the story. Probably next time we'll know more about it and how it connects to the truth of Penacony. Which will lead to Harmony Trailblazer as a new form given how things go with them and Aeons and Paths.
We didn't get a Hunt Path TB in Luofu but that story arc was a mess already which doesn't seem to leave room for it. We'll probably go back in there again to get the new form.

Time to do all the events and exploration. I'm still not done with the previous MoC though. I'm missing 1 more star, even though I already 36 star the newest one with Sam. Any advice for the "Something Unto Death" boss in MoC?
