Once upon a time, Richie would have said that fairy tales, were stories for little kids. There was only one thing that only Richie could believe and that was facts. If someone had told him earlier in his life that, one day Seth and him would be lords of a culebra monster clan, he would have call him crazy. But then when he began having visions, Richie's opinions began to change. When he met her, he felt things, that couldn't be explain. For starters there was that crazy vision of her bleeding on that pool. When she came out of the pool, the way she walked towards him, what she said,in the vision, was more like an echo of his most primal needs, to be wanted without questioning he was "crazy." When they began talking Richie knew, something was different, for starters he felt like this was the first time, he was breathing, as if his whole life he had been holding his breath just to meet her, while they were talking, Richie, couldn't stop ogling at her, and she must have felt it, for Kate made the comment of "picking underage girls". But Richie had to screw things with Kate by telling her the vision* he had of her parents. After the shoot out at the dew drop inn, Kate began to treat him differently, as it was expected, after all, his brother Seth and him had taken her family and her hostage, and were forcing them to cross the border towards Mexico, to an unknow hell hole called the titty twister. But there those moments, where he would look into her eyes, and see hope. And the moment when they held hands, he felt the connection again, and peace, something Richie wasn't used to.
At the titty twister's back room, there was that momentary shame of being caught with a stripper, because that meant for him that he was like any other comon men, caught fulling a common fantasy. When she sat next to him, he knew she didn't recoil with disgust or distrust, that she saw him as a smart man that many fail to see. And when they kissed, even though it was tender, he felt a powerful and passionate kiss. Things might have gotten further if Seth hadn't come and ruin things for them, and in the few seconds Richie chased after Kate, he realized a something, that the connection Richie had with the girl in his visions were broken when Kate was next to him. After that everything went straight to hell, quite literally.
The Santanico visions versus the Kate vision was 180° different, for starters, with Santanico, Richie felt that he had no option, that he must do or die, with Kate it was more of an option from heaven, that it was on his hands. But as Richie was on his deathbed, he felt the choice to make was to chose the girl that would fit his lifestyle more, Santanico, because Kate was too pure in her soul to corrupt even more. Yes, Santanico, is a beautiful woman in her own right, but Kate was beautiful both in soul and physically. In the short amount of time, he was with Kate, Richie became a believer of fairy tales with a happy ending, but Richie chose to live the life of nightmare, with Santanico. A live he was more acquantied.
