Great first chapter! I enjoyed actually seeing what Cody was leaving behind rather than just hearing about it. It seems like he's moved to a good place as well.
Vincent and Aldric seem like good guys and the idea of Aldric being an old friend works really well. Good move on the town's name being familar to Cody from all those letters.
That one sequence was nicely creepy and I'm interested to see how things go from here.
The whole team has done a fantastic job. Definitely one to follow.
