    So many questions.

    Would I be aware? Would I have any senses whatsoever? Would they scale with the size of the object or would they remain full size? How long would the situation last, or would I be stuck like that until the destruction of the object? What counts as destruction? How much of my humanity and who and what I am carries over?

    How would you feel if one of your inanimate possessions was inhabited by the spirit of someone of unknown desires who once answered a question to some unseen asker?

    What if it was your childhood teddy bear? I mean I might chose to be one of those with the purest of intents, but it’s still super creepy; what is for all intents and purposes, a grown man, voyeur, inhabiting a teddy bear, and so the true purest of intents mean that I can’t in good conscience be something like that.

    So maybe I ought to lean into the creepy and inhabit a pair of horn-rimmed spectacles worn by someone high up in an intelligence agency with a three letter acronym. If anyone needs spying on, it’s spies.
