The goal with the last few Chit and Richard pages has been to show his origin story a little, give the reader enough information about his people to form an opinion of them. Then on this page give the reader a reason to think his intentions weren't pure for a moment. On a later page, maybe highlight that this gut reaction to his actions is why his society is the way it is.
