I loved the first chapter as set-up as well as the sense of generation gap with the younger D&D set. If playing D&D is improv theater, DM'ing is directing it. I love the way you've described the power of fantasy to make the humdrum bearable, yet as a palliative, it can lead one to a certain complacency about the unpleasant realities. This second chapter takes the whole situation another step and wait with bated breath for the next installment.
