That was excellent because you don't trust him.

And then the trust builds as you get to know him.

And slips away.

And it's so brilliant because so many people are unknowable.

And we're supposed to immediately trust them.

I'm glad to see him back in the Rosefield.

Also, I think Alice was talking about kind of borrowing inspirations from philosophy to science to literature.

So what is still inspiring you today?

I know you were talking about inspirations maybe not being quite the right word, but what have informed you?

Really?

That was such a brilliant introduction, I think, for so many people to thinking about ideas that would never have crossed my mind otherwise or I would have been introduced to in such a dry way.

Of course.

So we've talked about your inspirations, but how does it feel still sort of knowing that so many people have been inspired by your stories and your characters and how many Lyras there are now in the world because of you?

As this is the final book, and many people are going to be sort of, I think, reflecting on their own journey with the adventures that they've taken alongside Lyra and Pan, as I've been.
