Richard king of fomo
I’m on my second read and i noticed the way he talks about both the murder of the farmer and the murder of Bunny at the start of chpt 6 is kind of crazy.
He talks about how the ‘the first murder seemed to be so simple’ and ‘the second one was also easy, at least at first’ and so on. Basically he speaks about the first murder as if he was there and Bunny’s as if he actually did anything other than just watch Henry push him. I’m not saying hearing about your friends killing someone wouldn’t be crazy and watching your friend be murdered wouldn’t be even crazier but like bro. Saying ‘the first murder seemed to be so simple’ when you literally were not there and didn’t even know about it until weeks later seems so delusional to me.
We know obviously Richard is an unreliable narrator and that he definitely gets fomo with the group but the way it sounds like he’s trying trick the reader into thinking he’s been more involved with everything than he has is so funny to me. Idk Richard just seems a lot more pathetic on the second read than he did on the first lol.
