The way Hestia and Michael treat Richt is kinda gross like the way they just constantly let him sacrifice himself and his own happiness and his own wants and needs for them is entirely disgusting like this isn’t a happy family. The fact that Richt is built up to be this own scary man, but he can’t even fight for his own happiness makes him seem kind of pathetic honestly. When it was explaining his backstory, I was like this man is insanely suicidal, not actively, but in the way, he lets himself be torn apart, just to give others pieces of himself. The award he got for becoming a traitor to the Empire, even if it was faked and exile. It’s not like he took care of himself up there and was content with being alone, he hated being an exile, so what was the goal? What was the plan? If he was content, I think it would be better because at least he made his bed and lied in it but he hates his bed, so why the fuck did he make it like that? I don’t know I love the main character but I’m not getting the idea of a happy family that they try to keep selling and it’s pissing me off. I don’t care how his older brother and his wife used him because he doesn’t see that they used him.
