I'm impressed with how this route was done.

Spoiler for VN comparison:

The VN had a large emphasis on romance between Riki and Kudryavka, and the part where Kud returned to her country was told almost entirely from Riki's point of view. We VN readers only got a few hints of what actually happened, and the rest was guesswork; even whether Kud's mother survived was a big question mark. Removing the romance took out a lot of sweet scenes, but the anime made up by replacing them with the events that Kud experienced herself, instead of spending time on Riki worrying. I really appreciate how the staff took advantage of the different medium to improve on the story, which now feels all the more complete to me.
