Now I find myself hoping that Pii-chan, and I guess Heronia too, get at least some sort of happy ending.

I’ve never gotten the impression that the reincarnation behind Heronia is a bad person really - she’s just sort of shallow and lazy, so she expected to just breeze through all of the checkpoints and raise all of the correct flags and essentially automatically get the good ending, and it confused and frustrated her (and understandably really) when nothing unfolded the way it was supposed to. How was she to know that the reincarnation behind Bertia was so adorable?

But anyway, we’re back on track for the alternate route good ending, and I’m looking forward to it.
