Importance of Audio Recording Feedback

The audio recording feedback that 8Handz detects during rehearsals and then again during the phony prison riot / immersive theatrical experience is symbolic of the possibility that Felix may not be as crazy as he seems. Throughout the novel it has seemed to the reader, and indeed to Felix himself, that his visions of Miranda are nothing but a delusion brought on by his grief. After Miranda declares to Felix that she intends to understudy for Ariel and 8Handz begins hearing feedback over Ariel’s lines in the recording, however, the question is raised whether Miranda might be a supernatural being that can be detected by people other than Felix.
