I've always thought that Bernkastel was lying when she stated that Lion only existed in one fragment and their death by Kyrie was unavoidable. Neither Bern nor Lambda said it with the red truth, so I think there could be many other fragments with Lion where they lived and Bern just chose one where Kyrie killed them to mindtorture Clair and Lion.
For me I generally take those words to be true, but since she didn't use red truth, it is possible. I do think that regardless, fragments with Lion are probably relatively (miraculously) rare, especially one where they survived.
Then again, I'm a sucker for impossible and inescapable fates, and like the symbolism of the whole thing with regards to how escaping from the cycle of abuse is impossible unless it's directly confronted (Lion is kept in ignorance, and thus cannot escape even by being accepted into the family).
