I like the update, but Richter behaved like a bit of an asshole to me. He wants to uncover the culprit not because of justice, but to save his own ass. Also he proposed an absolute absurd idea that was very uncomfortable for Lyall to hear and also lashed out at him when he objected. Kinda selfish and petty.
Eh? I, honestly, don't think so. Or at least not in such an outrageous and bitchy way like he is. If he really loves Lyall, he probably should think about his safety and well-being first, and his own second. I mean, didn't it occur to him that by defending Richter Lyall is putting himself in danger? (Now that I mention it, that's kinda funny, actually. Usually, I complain about how in furry visual novels protagonists' husbandos don't do enough for them, while here it's quite the opposite...) Anyway, he has quite a job to do to make up for his behaviour at this point.
He specifically said he wanted to uncover the mystery *for* justice and not to save his own ass lmao.
He was also framed for murder and you need to weigh all of your options in a situation like this.
If you want to see him as an asshole you can, but I think he's been put through enough shit to warrant a temper and a bit of a snap here and there.
