Irene was known for being awfully quiet and painfully shy. She was known for keeping words to herself to mask her true feelings towards others. She was known to be quiet, refusing to talk to anyone she didn't have to talk about. She was known for her avid avoidance of social situations. She was known for her silence, her reluctance in opening up to others.

Her silent reputation caught the attention of a masked psychopath who abducts her and uses her reserved nature against her. All the scientist could think was 'It wasn't like she spoke much anyway, right?'

With her ability to speak forcefully taken from her, she cannot scream or cry out for help. All she can do now is escape the silencing nightmare in which she had awakened and return home.
