Thanks for the upload! I'm glad to finally be able to read chapters 8 and 9 after this.
It's good but still I think I preferred the sense of pure mystery and uncertainness and threat when the protagonist was on her own. Having a couple of companions with faces, one of them with her, makes it feel more safe. Still you can't make a story that interesting with just one person on their own for very long. you have to introduce new characters eventually
