She definitely has an audience now, as they follow her around the room. A little eerie, that.
The more time she spent in here, the easier it was to find her way around, so she was able to find the necklace switchboard fairly quickly, and examined it.
The configuration was a little different than what she thought of as the "Will" shape. After...some rather extensive searching, there was a nest...a network of wires that seemed to work somewhat in concert, linking to a number of positive sensations on the main switchboard -- feelings of pride, of contentment, and one just labeled '"purpose". They were a complicated systems of connections and splits, tying into four dozen spots on the small switchboard, a mind-boggling level of complexity.
Miriam's best guess would be that these worked somehow to define the object's function, and reward Will when that function was being used. She could find similar patterns on most of the objects around -- the necklace tied in to being worn and matching other articles of clothing; the luxury car to transporting people and looking expensive, and so on. On the "Will" form, at least, that network was...not as clear.
