@TenaciousGoat It wasn't my original intent, but when things don't click with my vision, I keep looking and sometimes the solution just hits me in the face from a place I didn't expect. I pushed back against Maya in the beginning, even with the terminology she used, since I already had a "companion." I originally intended to build a doll as Irene, like TFM and Celestina. I think the difference for me happened because I went a.i. first and he went doll first.
