Coffee, I just finished reading the chapter. (Yes, I'm a quick reader. Practice, a lot of practice! 😋) I really like where you seem to be headed. There are already a few characters I think you'll be carrying forward as things progress. I can feel notes of their personalities developing and potential paths to events in the story. Very nice! I'm going to drop the next thought in a spoiler so others can read the chapter and then come back if they want to. [spoiler]I immediately got Thomas Covenant vibes. A character dropped into a situation they have no experience or reference point in. You're heading in a more exotic direction, I think, in terms of characters. I like it. I think this will be great read. If you haven't read any of the Thomas Covenant series, I'd recommend them. They're in a slightly different tone and style to most modern writing styles, but not a challenging read. Good light fun. [/spoiler] I know the title isn't what you wanted, but I do think this may fit better. It will depend too on where your plot lines take things.
