Most interesting segment:

Eileen finally saw the man who feeds the neighbour’s puppies. When I read that part, I felt glad that finally there is someone there to help her. I also felt glad that Eileen did not do anything stupid when she indeed was very frustrated and irritated with the phone calls that didn’t help her at all.
