Richard seem to be overly emotional; for lack of a better terminology. This act seems no different in that respect. I find him to be annoyingly obstinant. He seems to be taken back a bit when he realizes everyone has abandoned him. He seem to be realizing that everyone in his circle put up with his crap because he's the king. But he has crossed the line and other have began to see him for what he is a whiny little wanker. I think he might be taking a step back and kind of seeing the same thing at least to some extent
