@Kokiko - Gotcha. Yes, the change of scenery is abrupt and I wish I could work on 20 pages at a time because then the switch wouldn't be so out of the blue. Initially, starting on page 67, it was meant to be the second chapter but after much thought I realized this part is necessary to lead into the second chapter. The story is a bit pieced for the first volume until all major characters and plots are introduced. But I promise you, everything does tie in. In this case, shortly. Let's say we left Nikita and her mother alone for some time.
