Hmm, I can see that. Kaitlyn's return is one of the main objective of the Purge, that's really important.

About Victor and Richard, well, I guess we can take some examples from Super Sentai rivalry as inspirations. As you probably know, there're several settings of an arch-enemy to a Sentai member (usually the Red one) in Sentai series, mostly cemented between the protagonist and the show's secondary/major antagonist(s) (especially when the villain is the Big Bad's right-hand, e.g. Prince Igam & Iron Claw). Some feud might be caused by love rivalry (e.g. Kiros), sworn opponents (e.g. Juzo Fuwa, Silva, Gaisorg, Billion, Bangray, Yogostein & Rio), the villains' direct actions (e.g. Meemy, Quvero, Long, Basco & Zamigo), etc.

Considering they had no direct interaction until STAR LABS invasion, I guess Victor's arch-enemy relationship with Richard can be made like that between Bangray and Yamato Kazakiri/Zyuoh Eagle from Dobutsu Sentai Zyuohger. Bangray was introduced in the middle of the series, coming after the Cube Whale on Earth and briefly worked with Ginis to kill people, but was thwarted by Yamato many times. Yamato despised Bangray for toying with his victims by producing replicas out of their memories, and Bangray hated Yamato for the latter's cheery personality and his belief in the power of friendship (which is likely why he left Deathgalien to pursue his own prey). Bangray later tried to break Yamato's mind with heinous actions again and again. Those included creating a copy of Yamato's late mother and killed the copy right in front of him (forcing him to endure his childhood trauma of losing his mother alone), producing expendable replicas of Tusk and Sira to divide the team, and finally holding Yamato hostage to gain the Cube Whale from the team, only for Bangray to break the promise and allowed Quval to attack the team in order to eliminate them all, forcing Yamato to watch.

I guess Victor's action can be similar to Bangray in a way, with him playing with Richard's feelings and tried to harm his family in order to break his mind and drive him insane. Harming his family as well as taunting his past can also help.

Well, Yang's nightmare scene of Adam really showed how much of a trauma he carved inside her mind. Paul can have similar trauma with Rikki and I guess one day they shall meet once more and he'll finish her off. As for Selina, I think she can still have some soft spots besides paranoia and is still much less ruthless than Future Maria, and as I mentioned on Future Maria's page, Selina was actually worried of how far Future Maria would go to achieve her goal.

I didn't intend to introduce the Chinese characters in my work so soon (since unlike the Order of Flourish, their vital role is yet to come and their base is not in Sleepy Hollow) but I'll make some special mention to them in the upcoming story. I think they'll join the fight against STAR LABS and I guess their flashback will appear in Mafusa Gang's Revenge Sub Arc at the earliest.

Hmm, for sure, considering that the Order of Flourish already suffered a hit after their task against Moloch, the STAR LABS invasion and the Eclipse of Hermes' actions only make things worse. Sounds like a deadly battle about to come.
