But not senseless. People are complicated. The ideal answer isn't one that everyone can come to.

To me, it almost seems as if this birdcage of a game, constructed by Lambda, was built out of the one thing Bern would never again understand and sympathize with: love. Because she can't sympathize with love, she acts out against those who can love and do love, senselessly destroying it in desperate attempts to satsisfy herself.

That is another way to interpret it. Bern is cruel and evil. She's never going to be likable. But she might be understandable.
Whether you interpret her as the cruel truth incarnate, or someone who just doesn't understand love, it doesn't make much difference. Of course, I kind of like my own interpretation.
