As the war in Japan reached a new intensity, Itami found herself alone and isolated within the Kaiser's Palace. During this time, she struggled to understand the reason behind Berengar's sudden shift in behavior towards her. The fact of the matter was that the albino beauty could not get over the fact that the first man she had liked since Julian's death now hated her guts. Or so it would seem.
The reality of the situation was that Berengar did in some way care for Itami, and he could not deny that there was a genuine bond that had formed between them, especially after their first date. However, after witnessing the woman reprise her role as the Japanese Empress once more, he could no longer deny that she was the enemy who had killed so many of his citizens.
