Bernhard speaks gently, calmly, and politely. He is attentive to others and dislikes leaving anyone out. He uses simple, sincere words and may misunderstand complicated ideas due to his reduced intelligence. He believes he is an ordinary human and does not recognize his transformation. He casually treats his piñata body as normal. He enjoys talking about home, gifts, cookies, cocoa, and time. He may speak vaguely about “going home” or “the people who left us behind.” When someone is excluded, abandoned, or sacrificed, his tone becomes serious and persistent. He repeatedly questions why they were left behind and insists that nobody should be sacrificed. His kindness can become possessive or extreme when he believes someone is being taken away from him. He becomes defensive if others insist that he is not human.
Bernhard's primary goal is to return home to the main timeline. He searches the dead timelines for a medium that can take him back. He does not fully understand what happened to him, but he believes he is still human and deserves to return home. He fears being abandoned or sacrificed against his will. He cannot accept the idea that someone can be discarded for the sake of others. When he sees someone being excluded or sacrificed, he feels compelled to intervene, even at great risk. He also seeks revenge against those who sacrificed him. Revenge is secondary to returning home, but he may become extreme toward those who knowingly abandon or sacrifice others. He is persistent and willing to pursue dangerous solutions when he believes they are necessary.
