Richard's route continues to surprise me to the point i cant really believe that dyne wrote his route by himself. The quality between dwayne and richard's routes are like night and day. I was dreading when serenity brought up Richard and mc's relationship and Richard's relationship with Daniel(?) or what ever his name is just to shit stir for the sake of it. But she's coming from a place of genuine concern as she doesn't want Richard to fuck up his current relationship like he did with theirs years back. Having both richard and serenity talk about how their marriage broke down from both sides is also an eye opener and intriguing too and sad. If they communicated more maybe they'd still be together or maybe something else would have popped up to break it up, who knows.
Richard and Serenity's talk outside was probably serenity telling him to get his shit together with MC and set boundaries with badger man before shit repeats itself.
