You've handled how they dealt with the fallout of the recent events quite nicely. Anna continues to be the most intriguing character. The dialogue was scripted very well and it remains one of your strengths. The pacing was slower than the past chapters, but it's still quite good. I like how you slowly exposed everyone to Anna's new state. It doesn't feel at all forced. I can't believe it's only chapter 20! Amazing job, my friend :D
