Indeed, moving to the countryside and stopping all her entertainment activities proved to be beneficial for Irene. She got to spend more time with her family and more time for herself. So far, Irene liked the feeling of not having to follow a strict schedule just to keep up with her day-to-day activity.
In the countryside, people often recognize her but not to the extent of causing too much attention. The people in Irene's small town respect her privacy a human being so they do not put her in a tough spot.
"Auntie, I will be taking Rosie for a walk. We will get going now!" Irene had to raise her voice while she was outside their house. Her Auntie Rona was in the backyard so she could not hear her if she just said it with a normal voice.
Auntie Rona stopped what she is doing to respond to Irene, "Alright! You have to take care, sweetie!" She said and then went back to tending to her plants.
