Pinagmasdan ko ang pamilyang Villiary.. masayang pamilya, mayaman at mababait rin ang mga taong ito pero hindi ko lang maintindihan kung bakit kinulong nila dito ang nagiisa nilang anak. Walang kaibigan at walang muwang sa mundo. Kahit twenty years old na ito para siyang bata kung umasta. Isa lang naman ang masisi ko kundi ang parents niya. Hindi magalit ang anak niya sa ginawa nila dahil napaka inosente ni Irriene. Hindi niya alam kung anong nangyari sa labas ng mansyon nila. Wala rin siyang pakialam dahil simula bata nandito na siya sa loob. Umiyak ito na parang bata sa harap ng mommy at daddy niya habang ang mommy niya kinausap siya na parang bata rin. Okay lang sana kung tratuhin siya ng nababagay sa edad niya pero hindi. Tama lang na ipakilala ko si Dinnese sa kanya para mabantayan ko parin siya kahit hindi ako nagtuturo sa kanya. The world is cruel and her world is the worst.
