You may struggle to understand Pew's personality, their central identity of memory, gender and race wiped.

I only ask because people think other people's dreams are boring. Do you? Do you think other people's dreams are boring?
No.

And it was this meeting or something, all these scientists and philosophers are there, giving speeches - I guess it's sort of what I imagine college could be like. All these experts and stuff. And there's this one person there who decided to change her body into a horse's body. Like - she decided that she would only be happy if she could change herself into a horse. And she's spent her whole life inventing these drugs and surgeries to turn herself into an animal, and little by little she's changed herself into a horse and this conference is ... maybe it's like the first time she's publicly being a horse. But something about the surgery meant that she had to become a baby horse first, and her skin is almost translucent- have you ever seen a newborn horse?
