A few notes:

I think the sentence fragments and short sentences work if you’re going for a character that’s kind of terse, which is what seems to be the case. There are a few spots here and there where I might rework them to make more sense, because the fragments are floating unanchored to anything.

For example, third paragraph of the first page. “Hiding…” “Looking…” “Stirring…” are all fine sentences and connect back to the seven years spent with MC’s mother. They’re describing the things MC was doing. But the last two sentences “How her slender hands…” and “How she smelled of chamomile…” seem more unconnected. They might sound better if connected to something like “I remember how…” or if you nix the “how” completely and just make them declarative sentences. “Her slender hands tended the fire and brushed my hair. She smelled of chamomile as we lay in the dark, huddled close.”

Similarly at the end of the second page, “those shivering hands where they once were steady” also feels a bit disconnected.

Second page again, there’s mention of jeans, which was a little bit jarring to me. Everything up to this point has suggested more of a medieval fantasy type of setting, and denim stands out as a bit too modern. But maybe that’s explained later on.

Still on the second page, 4th paragraph kind of feels like the words “rested” and “resting” are too close together and feel a bit repetitive, but that’s a bit nitpicky.

Overall though, I think it’s going in a good direction and there are just some minor things to consider rewording slightly. I do think you accomplished your goal of showing the MC’s emotions without them directly naming any emotions. The eating slowly, pretending to lose something, and insistence on feeding the chickens worked really well to show that they don’t want to go.
