That went about as well as it could. You've got a long way to go peach-pony. Just hold it together.

Character psychology is one of my favorite things to look at when it comes to both my own characters and other people's. I love figuring out how they tick and what they would do in response to given circumstances. The deep dive into Sunset's headspace is only just getting started--the first arc, aside from the interludes and a few little pieces in some of the chapters, are told from her PoV, so I take great pains to rummage around inside her psyche while I torment her with plot.
I feel the biggest problem with 'psychological' stories, especially ones that write with the intent of fitting that genre, is that diving into the headspace and spelling out every last iota of angst and drama and worry - aside from being a drudge - is it's taking the easy road of telling, instead of showing. Yes, laying out every thought bare like a set of IKEA instructions will get the job done, but people are not a set of instructions, People don't usually conceptualize their every feeling or worry even to themselves, and so you aren't getting to know a character, you're having that character explained to you in minute detail.
It is nice that this story seems to get past that pretty quick.
