Ah… that was even better than I’d hoped.
I wanted to see Heronia and Pii-chan get some sort of happy(ish) ending, but that was a bit problematic for a couple of reasons. And the way they ended up handling it was just about perfect.
And most importantly, it satisfied Bertia - she could fit it into her fanon.
One more obstacle to be overcome though…

I hope it’s not the last time we saw her.

I was thinking while her sentence was being decided that I’d really like to see an account of Heronia’s (ultimately successful) efforts to reunite with Pii-chan.
I remain convinced that she’s not a bad person. At some base level, she’s actually the same as Bertia - she thought, just as Bertia did, that Cecil was destined to be with the heroine, and all it would take is just arranging for something resembling the right flags being tripped at the right moments. It’s just that in both of them following pretty much the same strategy, Bertia came out the “winner” and Heronia the “loser.” And she didn’t deal with it very well.
Now granted, Bertia really is a better person than Heronia, but that’s not really a fair comparison, since Bertia is a better person than virtually everyone, likely even including Cecil. How can anyone compare with her superhuman combination of genuine concern for other people, relentless optimism, and adorkable charm?
But still I think Heronia is decent at heart and I agree - I’d like to see more of her.

Yup. Heronia is not evil. She’s just human. I’m really hoping for a happy ending for everyone.
