Atticus, it turned out, talks most easily by texting. Or typing. It could take direct control of Tamar’s voice—with their permission—but all three of us thought that would be weird. And would probably make me feel like the whole puppethead thing was more valid than I knew it to be. So we opened a chat, and Tamar and I sat on opposite sides of the room, and had one conversation out loud while Atticus and I had a totally different one via our keyboards.

It wasn’t a very deep conversation. Maybe I had expected it to be revelatory? But it was like … talking to a friend of a friend with whom you don’t have much in common.

We struggled to connect, and it was a relief when the conversation ended.
