Great that your block has been lifted. We are benefiting from that.
I read the first chapters when they were posted and knew that this was a beginning, now it does feels like one, too, and that something is going on and will be doing so, there are developments and far more open paths to follow.
It does certainly not feel too different from the first two chapters, not like a break, but you have made it clear here that you are telling from hindsight (?) / memories of a crucial experience.
