I got a question about the first one. Since I have not come up with anything on the second yet that I like, I might go for the first one, although it sounds harder.
Are you talking about objects in a general way, say you buy it, you use it, you give it to someone, it breaks and gets thrown away? Or is it more a sort of fantastic way you think about it, like they have feelings and thoughts, which they might even be able to express or communicate otherwise with the world around them?
