Welcome to Interlude 1! Not quite chapter 2, but more like chapter 1.5. I'll be doing one of these between every chapter, I think, to tell a story that's taking place either in different *time* from the Now, or a different *place* from where Toral currently is. These pages are easier to finish, so I can work on these and have time to get a good solid buffer ready before Chapter 2 starts publishing.
