This is... another good reason I like having a big backlog. As I've been looking over the pages done so far, sharing them with a few of my closest friends to evaluate flow and continuity... I realized the flow of this chapter is kind of jumbled a little bit.
And besides, these pages that I'd cut from the start of the chapter are, perhaps unsurprisingly, important for the story I've created. I think inserting them a few of them here will help not only reveal the important information to the story while also help to imply passage of time a bit better...
