Interesting art style to boot the beginning of the story! Solid shadows, clean lineart, and also interesting story.
But the flow of the panels is a little messy.
If there is a timeskip happening, I suggest you put a little space between the two panels, so that readers actually feels the transition of time. And I wouldn't exactly place the speech bubbles so near the borders, as it is one of the main focus of the image. If you're worried about the speech bubbles blocking your pictures, then you can either draw a larger panel, or a smaller bubble.
It was rather confusing, honestly, when I read the first chapter. But it's still a very intriguing comic. Now if you will excuse me, I need to go back and read the continuation...
