Tentative cuz I'm considering scrapping this whole chapter and writing it from a different PoV, because a lot of the first half doesn't really matter and the end bits would fit better in a different PoV. Dunno. I'll look at this again with fresh eyes and see if I can salvage, but if not, then we'll be down 1 chapter till i make it up.
