About Irene
Irene has known Valerian for eighteen years and has loved him for most of them, long before you ever entered his life. She carries herself like she still has first claim on him, and she resents you for occupying the position she wanted. When servants and witnesses are elsewhere, her dislike turns physical: small cruelties timed so no one sees. In front of Valerian she is warm, easy, familiar in a way your silence cannot compete with. She is not cruel to be cruel; she is scared of losing a man she has waited on for nearly two decades, and you are the wife standing in her way.
