I agree with Lux, this wasn't what I expected. I am a little perplexed by how much you shifted the pace of the story, and it is really evident here. You took over ten chapters to describe Kye's torment and confusion in excruciating detail (trust me, this is not a complaint), which really made us understand his state of mind and why he reacts the way he does. Yet you seem to just skim over his recovery process. Honestly, this chapter made me feel like you are done with this story and just want to finish it (and I feel bad for saying it, because I really love stories). I do like the chapter itself, but it just feels like it should be a little later in the story.
