** It gets worse when you see her childhood in a flashback. Her situation wasn't really no different from when she had the curse and is surprisingly similar to Metallia's own childhood. Being deceived and use by her other classmates despite her thinking of them as her friends and her only personal confide being her teacher who happens to be plague with terrible gossip. Yeah, even as a princess she still became an outcast. [[spoiler: And that doesn't even touch the deception made by her fiance and one of her trusted servants.]]



* [[spoiler:Lucchini's]] ultimate fate [[AlternateCharacterInterpretation if you take the view that he was actually]] GoodAllAlong. His actions helped save the world, but the extreme measures he took to get there ensure he will be hated forever by the people of the world. He murdered his parents, betrayed and destroyed the trust all his friends had in him and massacred everyone in his home village, meaning he literally has no place to go and no one willing to help him. Metallia sparing his life might make you think he's a KarmaHoudini, but honestly? It was probably the [[CruelMercy cruelest thing she could have done.]]

* [[spoiler: Mani's betrayal. Just after finding out that she was made to be use as a living cure against Niike by Uruka, her idol and her parental figure, Metallia breakdown in a fit of anger and wishes Old Hag to die. Only for that to happen and Mani stabbing Old Hag and both Metallia and Malia unable to save her with the Old Hag making one last apology to Metallia for what she has done. Man, except two of the characters, everyone at one point betrayed Metallia and it happens also consecutively. It's a wonder how Metallia still has a conscience with even what happened to her.

* In Chapter 2, when Metallia berates Arlecchino for neglecting to maintain a gate on the edge of her swamp, he recounts why it has been neglected.
-> Arlecchino: ''100 years and 135 days ago, do you remember what you said when you lost your temper? You hit your head on the gate, and cried for three days and three nights. '''"This stupid gate should rot! Never maintain this gate again!"''' ...Was your verbatim command.''



** The scene is especially wrenching for those that are familiar with or have undergone hazing.

* Though [[JerkAss Metallia]] has done very little to merit sympathy, the end of Chapter 5 is absolutely heartbreaking. At the end of Chapter 4, Metallia receives an invitation to Walpurgisnacht, the nighttime soiree where the Great Witches get together for partying and the discussion of [[BuffySpeak important witchy things.]] However, when Metallia arrives at the meeting place with [[NoodleImplements the bizarre items requested]] and does the excruciatingly embarrassing ceremonial dance necessary to kick off the event...[[spoiler: Holograms of the Great Witches appear and begin to ruthlessly mock and laugh at Metallia. They then reveal that Metallia was never invited to Walpurgis and never will be, and the "ritual dance" she had to do was just entertainment performed by young apprentice Witches, usually ''small children'', to kick off the festivities.]] Rather than hurl insults back or declare vengeance, Metallia...breaks down and begins sobbing. [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness Even Arlecchino is taken aback.]]
