Reminder
Richard's forgotten that feelings other than bitterness and hatred could exist.
And perhaps this is why, in the midst of fury so strong that he's ready to reach for his gun and shoot at the scientist in front of him despite years of teaching himself not to seek answers in violence, he stops himself when he's told that the scientist loves the woman next to him, and he will never hurt her.
Richard finds the sincere confession calming, and he sets them free, silently tells them to be careful, because what they have is so rare. And what's surrounding them, those feelings of hatred and bitterness, they're everywhere.
