Now, depending on what we dump in, he'll develop...differently. And not always obviously, either. It's all a complicated connotation-transformation-implication-filtration, and you can never be QUITE sure what you're going to get. Add in cotton candy, and maybe he'll be all sweet, or maybe he'll be airheaded, or maybe he'll just be pink. Throw in a copy of 1984, and he might become a fascist, or a revolutionary, or he may just like to write.
Or, then again, he may just become a copy of the book. Who can say? If it's something you don't like, you erase it and start again."
