Well it’s a good thing you have this all figured out; however, if the information is pertinent to the story, you should make sure said information is communicated to the reader; otherwise, information that the character already knows seems like it came out of nowhere despite being a logical conclusion from a writer’s perspective.
You want to make the job of the reader easy, otherwise they might move on to another story that they can digest more easily!
This isn’t saying that you can’t handle or write about mature themes, but you need to make sure that the ideas and the characters opinions about those themes are communicated effectively and clearly.
Congratulations on being so open to criticism!
It’s clear that you care about this story and the characters in it a lot, and that care comes through in your dialogue, which has a lot of thought put into it.
