Explain who Fiona is, and the role she plays in Jonas's process of growing up.
Fiona is a friend of Jonas's who also volunteers at the House of Old; she is important because Jonas has a dream about bathing her that makes him recognize that he desires her. When he tells his parents about the dream, they inform him he has begun his "Stirrings," or puberty, and must start taking a pill to suppress those feelings.
