There is actually a lot to potentially unpack with this chapter. One of Richard's initial purposes for the story was to be an exposition monkey, a character that exists for the sole purpose of having other characters explain things on behalf of the reader. Now this won't apply to all things, as some things simply don't make sense to be done in this matter, either from it making no sense for Richard to be exposed to it, or it not serving any purpose to explain it in the story itself. Eventually, though, he'll stop being an exposition monkey and develop into his own character.

We also get to meet our second main character for the story (Though Mige does show up far more than Chris, the doctor and the person giving him the assessment, Mige is not at all important to the plot for a good long while and is mainly just there until you find out what he's doing in season 2). Anon is the Head Guardian, who is in charge of defending the station from the inside. And despite being more of a Sym mage, Anon is almost never shown with a battery and always shown with her familiar and is almost the only character always shown with their familiar.
