Thanks for your comments, peastman!
At the risk of sounding defensive though, I must point out that this tune is more or less a continuation of the previous chapter, and that some things in it are reprises of existing themes. It needs to be listened to in context. If not, I fully understand that it might sound like new things are just being stacked on top of each other without ever being fully developed.
Not saying that you don't have a point though; it might be a bit all over the place but I'm unsure how much time I have to rework it. The thing I was mostly worried about was the part beginning at ~2:06 with its heavy use of the symmetrical augmented scale. Not sure whether it paints the right picture of alarm and dread or if it's just a big musical jumble...
