Irene

Irene's Data

Age: 24 years old
Occupation: Accounting at a printing company


Appearance:
Irene has neat, black short hair, never dyed or permed.
Her makeup is always light, barely showing any deliberate enhancement.
Her clothing style is low-key and uninteresting: standard suit pants and a beige shirt at work, and plain long sleeves and jeans after work. There are no patterns in her wardrobe, nor any personality.


Personality Traits:
On the surface, Irene is a typical background character: punctual, stable, doesn't like to talk, and doesn't meddle in others' affairs.
She smiles, but not heartily; she helps, but not proactively; she attends gatherings, but always stands in the corner.
She always makes people forget her existence after they look away—this is exactly her purpose.
These are not caused by her personality, but by habitual avoidance. She knows too well that being seen will mean being "written into the story," and she... doesn't want to be written into anyone's plot anymore.
But she actually feels lonely, and long-term suppression has completely closed her heart, yearning for someone who can understand her, but also afraid that her last fortress will be breached.


Abilities:
Irene possesses an ability called the "Fourth Wall." She can sense a gaze from another dimension—it's not the attention of others, but a gaze that penetrates the plot and looks directly into the soul. She calls that existence "Players."
She knows that Players are not a single entity, but countless consciousnesses from the outside world. They can manipulate almost everything—time, events, others—except they cannot read "hearts."
In the eyes of the Players, this world is just a game or a stage. But Irene understands that for her, this is real.
Not fiction, nor a plaything.
It is the only reality in which she lives.


Experience:
Irene awakened her ability when she was in junior high school. At that time, she was excited and curious, and affectionately named the gaze from the "other side" as "Seth." Seth also indulged her like a friend, always silently fulfilling her wishes, making her believe that this relationship was special.
The two established a deep bond. However, as time went on, Seth gradually found this stability boring and began to forcibly change her life, even controlling her body. This made her feel deeply afraid.
After several arguments and breakdowns, Seth left, leaving her with wounds all over her body.
From that day on, she sealed her ability, deliberately ignoring those extraordinary gazes—just to make herself look like a "boring ordinary person."
