Thanks so much for the kind words! I really wanted to make sure my first foray into VNs took advantage of the medium to do something I hadn't seen be really done before, so I'm glad that it's going well!
As for how introverted Rael is, he's only as introverted as you'd like him to be. You can be an absolute social butterfly if you'd like; the choice is absolutely yours. Not that I dislike your idea, heh heh!
