I know its a smaller part of the overall piece, but I really love Eric having a kind of impediment in the form of fluffspeak. Makes me think of the whole “nature vs nurture” thing when it comes to language- did this happen organically? Is it a side effect of parents replacing tablets and TVs with fluffies for “hands off entertainment”? Be a neat thing to explore, the real-life cases that come to mind are Victor of Aveyron and Genie, both classed as ‘feral children’ and while being…rehabilitated is the only word I can think of, psychologists worked with them on trying to learn language despite never hearing spoken word before they were found
I actually wrote about this in Wan Pway , and it was also in Sam & Kaya . Its part of the “Fluffspeak Nation” series, which you can find the links to in my index.
