I think there are ways in which Abel is unassuming that comes off very naturally, but there are others where I feel like the philosophical touch might break the immersion a little. The one place that I'm thinking is when Abel remarks that a skirt could be a weapon in the right hands.
While capital T True, I think it just brought me a little out of the narrative because this is the second (?) time that Abel's been in contact with a woman. I'm not sure to what degree City 48 is truly separated, but based on his seemingly limited interactions thus far, that's a pretty bold statement to make right off the bat.
Emma's characterization was nice though, I think there are a lot of elements to her character that isn't just the generic flower watering girl you could probably pick up by rereading the latter ends of their interaction.
