“i kin francis!” “i kin charles!” “i kin camilla!” nope! you are a richard papen kin. we are all richard papen kin’s, and tbh i believe that that was one of the points of his character. (unless, of course, you claim to be a henry kin. then you are undeniably bunny)

I like making up futures for dead characters. Henry was 21 in the 80s, right? he'd be around 40-50 now. don't mind me, just imagining a graying Professor Winter smoking with one of his students that he considers his protège. he teaches something completely different and discovered that that student studied Ancient Greek when the student forgot their journal in his classroom. though, the student didn't kill him for it!

AND JUST—
There's even their own comments about it and it's so funny wait:

“Does such a thing as "the fatal flaw," that showy dark crack running down the middle of a life, exist outside literature?”
