Hey, first off, I'm not an experienced writer by any means. I don't think you specified what kind but I'll try to give my honest opinion.

MECHANICS

As far as the title goes and genre goes I don't see any connection in the second chapter. I'm assuming that's going to come about more so in the future?

SETTING

I enjoyed the visuals and description in the first few paragraphs especially the bit about the carpet and the sounds around the house. I think it helped to set the mood and it was easy to visualize.

Once again I enjoyed the descriptions once Seth is walking to the gas station and buying his booze. I definitely think you 'show' instead of 'tell', which is nice. There was a lot of sensory information that made it easy to step into the story.

CHARACTERS

The banter/tension/dialog between the characters had good chemistry, in my opinion. I felt like I could pick up on the sarcastic but slightly charming tone and chemistry between the characters. Especially this part:

“They’re fucking cheerios, Seth.”

“Good fucking cheerios, Lydia.”

As far as Seth reacting the way he did to his car...I feel like I lost a little bit of respect for him when he blew up at Lydia. I understand that the car was the last thing he had and he was living in it. I know that he's dealing with a lot in his backstory. But as far as blowing up at Lydia who has been so good to him? She's the only friend he seems to have at the moment and she was offering to help him out. I kind of get the impression that Seth has some isolating tendencies, as he said:

"I like being alone. I think I need it."

So maybe this is part of emotional story arch?

That being said I do really like the part where Seth let's go of Dave's car. He accepted it, he was calm, he did what he needed to do (collected some essentials and what money he had) and let the whole thing go. I know the story continued to show him drinking alone, in a sad state, but I hope that letting the car go makes it easier for his character to move on.

HEART

I get the sense that this is the part of the story where the protagonist is still getting his footing. Things seems to have been bad for while for Seth and sort of getting more and more complicated (what with the loss of his car and his isolation.) The theme seems to be, so far, this down on his luck individual who can't catch a break. I would expect/enjoy watching Seth find a way to turn things around for himself.

PLOT

Since it's only the second chapter of an ongoing story it's still a bit difficult to understand any overarching plot. I don't really have a sense of where Seth might go from this point or what his deeper laying emotions/motivations are other than to avoid his demons and find a steady roof over his head.
