And this is almost immediately followed by [[spoiler:[[AIIsACrapshoot M.I.K.E. activating Gungnir on his own]] and the party being forced to take him down as well]], leading to a scene where she's clearly teetering on the edge of the DespairEventHorizon, which reveals that [[spoiler:M.I.K.E. was the one to comfort her when [[DisappearedDad her father went missing]]]].

backstory. He was chosen as the Fafnir Knight even though it was another family's time to produce one, but agreed due to his father dying. Following his leaving with Violetta, his mother died and his sister grew ill. Worried about his family, Bertrand and Violetta agreed that he would meet up with her in High Lagaard again after checking upon them. But upon returning to his homeland, Bertrand was seen as a deserter and forced into exile along with his sister, his family's name being destroyed in the process. And after all that, he returned to High Lagaard to discover that Violetta was gone, having undergone the ritual herself to become the new Black Guardian]].
