Y'all please do not overlook Fayes caged bird imagery paralleling the heroine from Irene's book. It's a common metaphor but it's also a direct foreshadow of Faye being a closeted girl trapped by delusions of what she really wants, just like the character Irene wrote. I imagine that's why Irene knew EXACTLY how to crack those delusions, because she already sees through Faye's facade
