** HATE assuming full power over Betty's remains is a tragedy in its own right. As horrible, delusional and brainwashed as she was, she at the very least genuinely believed that she was truly a NecessaryEvil and needed to remove one race to stop another devastating war in order for the world to thrive and become a better place in the future, and that she needed to control a greater evil to help her achieve that. In addition, she ''needed'' to kill and steal souls for their magic [[FreudianExcuse in order to survive, or else she'd waste away and essentially "starve" to death]] (although this still does not excuse her committing murder and spreading destruction). After her demise and HATE's ultimate victory over her, it becomes clear. Everything that she did, all the slaughtering of innocents, all the manipulation, all her creator's vile and despicable commands imbued in her brain to fulfill the one and only purpose she was made for, all her efforts to keep HATE under control to prevent it from breaking free and destroying any chance of the future she was after, [[UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans all the heinous actions she took to allow herself to live long enough to create a world free from war...]] AllForNothing.

** Amber's soul is gone, so she will never return to her original self, and Bete Noire is all that is left. Her soul was created by Agate's own soul emptying into nothingness and being filled with Fear before storing her creation inside of it. So while Betty may be Amber in body and memories (that Agate retained), her soul is entirely different. At the same time that she IS Amber, she is NOT Amber and will never be again. And her purpose is to KillEmAll, especially the Red Soul, and then get erased from existence with everyone else.

* Rave’s relationship with Grace hasn’t improved in the years since Noah passed. Luckily, Ronan has his back and is willing to stand up for him.
* Glitchtale Origins: Gaster reveals that Gaster had an AbusiveDad in the form of Roman, who kept trying to push him into cruelty and violence with the excuse of protecting his companions. Roman keeps belittling Gaster while sparring, criticising him for every error and pushing him to the point where Gaster nearly blasts his dad with ''Polychromatism''... and when he refuses to kill him, Roman just takes it as another proof of weakness and [[IHaveNoSon tells Gaster not to contact him again]], while Gaster just cries for his father to show love to

** Even more tragic is the fact no one ever found out any of this about Betty. As far as they know, she's a mass murdering psychopath who deserved to die. They have no clue there's anything sympathetic about her, which adds another layer of tragedy to it.

* Toriel tearing up about how she treated Asgore, admitting that she has a huge amount of self-loathing that she projected onto him.
* Even ''HATE'' has an oddly sad scene where, in its last moments, as it runs out of magic and therefore the ability to maintain physical form, it stops just short from tearing at Chara to get to Asriel. It just… stands there, lowers its head and… [[FaceDeathWithDignity gives up, disappearing presumably for good.]] The reason as to why remains a mystery…
* Papyrus breaks down in tears and admits that he feels like it’s his fault that his brother died and his father almost followed because, even though he followed Betty alone, he didn’t truly want to hurt her at all. Even after everything she did to the world (including killing Paps’ own brother Sans), he ''still'' felt awful at the idea of hurting her, and adds that he wishes he had the same desire to kill her that Gaster did. Thus further cements Papyrus as an AllLovingHero who is capable of showing sympathy for anyone. He even felt sorry for ''Betty'', likely because he knew she was made specifically to be incapable of changing or feeling positive emotions. Yet, because he couldn’t muster the killing intent towards her, he feels as though he’s let his family down. However, Gaster corrects him by saying he’s glad his son didn’t turn out like him and didn’t give in to a rage and hatred that nearly killed both his last son and himself and succeeded in making HATE stronger. He tells his crying son that he’s proud Papyrus isn’t truly a fighter, and that his hands aren’t meant to hurt, but instead to heal.
** One has to wonder if Paps is bitter that Betty wasn’t a creature that could have been saved like Asriel, Chara, or even Gaster himself, otherwise he may have tried to reach out to her.
* Rave’s relationship with Grace hasn’t improved in the years since Noah passed. Luckily, Ronan has his back and is willing to stand up for him.

* The newest animation, Glitchtale Origins. Betty was really Amber, the daughter of the original Kindness and Integrity wizards, Integrity died, and we have no idea what happened with Kindness. Afterwards, both the Lightvales adopted her as a sibling, but Agate had the whole argument with Copper, leading to her attempt to kill Copper.
** Along with this, We learn how Copper truly lost his determination...Agate murdered Amber in cold blood, in an attempt to get to Copper. [[TheVillainWins It works.]] She then drags Amber's body away to turn her into the last remnant of Fear forever.

* The fates of everyone from the original Glitchtale Timeline:
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b30NoSmJa6U Chara]] ultimately fails to save Asriel due to him remembering that Chara destroyed his locket, denouncing their friendship before fatally stabbing him. With no options left, Chara creates the 2nd timeline by going back in time and leaving a second locket behind. As he disintegrates, he laments that he wished he could've done more before saying that maybe Asriel has a better chance now.
** [[https://camilaart.tumblr.com/post/184659293980/in-this-timeline-ronan-got-hit-way-harder-which Ronan's injuries]] are more severe than in Timeline 2, so he ends up dying in Undyne's arms before Rave can get to them. Once he dies, Kumuzilla sends a huge chunk of rubble their way and Undyne, unable to cope with the guilt of having failed to save her friend, simply lets herself get crushed.

Gaster ends up impaled inside the rubble, the smile on his face serving as an indication that he ''hoped'' this would happen, with the last image being his body beginning to dust. His last words?

** [[https://camilaart.tumblr.com/post/186062389340/rave-rutrow-failed-timeline-written-story Rave]] pulls a LastStand with his squad of Kindness wizards, hoping they will buy time for everyone else to escape. His final words are to ask his long-dead brother Noah if he is proud of him before Kumuzilla shatters the shield while he is still connected to The Avalon, draining his magic all at once and instantly killing him.

* ''Another'' sad moment for [[CuteAndPsycho Betty of all people]]. Frisk is imagining all the past enemies who have killed them - Undyne, Flowey, Asgore... and then they find themselves in what appears to be a new ImagineSpot staring down Betty, and her SlasherSmile changes all of a sudden to an innocent and fearful look, complete with her body glitching and her colors inverting. This is all we see of Amber for the episode, but it seems that she is truly starting to remember herself, which makes it all the more sad considering she may be aware of the monster she is now, but her mother's darkness is controlling her mind too much and she'll inevitably forget.
