It really looks like they're setting Bern up for that.

Bern started as a cool, distant, mysterious character but after ep 4 descended headfirst into cackling sadistic villainy and never looked back. And now it seems they're actually trying to pin all the murders on her too somehow.

Is there a tvtrope for this sort of thing? The first main villain is never the real main villain?

Bern spent the question arcs as a mysterious, detached background figure, but in the answer arcs she dove headfirst into batshit insane random sadistic villainy and never looked back.

Basically she took the villain role that old Beato used to have, and it appears that there's a retcon coming that all of oldBeato's cruelty was somehow Bern's doing. See pic.

I'm okay with this. If they want to make Beato/Sayo/??? sympathetic, the first thing they need to do is wash her of guilt.

Wait a second - Bernkastel's taking the credit for the murders now?
