What did Gerda even see in that guy? I know he was "just a friend" but, you know...

Well, he's extremely smart, I know that demonic script and crystalline computation can be very hard to grasp, and he's actually added new techniques to both. Also, he is a very handsome man, objectively. Additionally, I know they grew up together. I think he also represents a lot of complex failures and successes for Gerda, that may be hard for her to untangle.

-Consort Beckett

Yeah, fair.
