"Hello, everyone," Anakin said, coming into the classroom and leaning against his desk in the front. "Sunday was yet another example of the island imposing its will upon us. Now most of the time this is a benevolent, if embarrassing, occurrence. I have been here many years and the island has turned me into a talking pony, a gangster, a child, a teenager, a toy, a cat, and so on and so on. I also ended up eating everything with my hands and having a neck tattoo that misspelled my wife's name last week, but Kitty assured us that was because of some kind of screw up with the alcohol manufacturer."

He blew out a breath. "So, my question is: on this island how do you learn to reconcile the idea that your free will can just be overridden at any moment? Is free will even that important a concept in your society?"

Jo had been rather mortified about her behaviour on Sunday and while it may not entirely have been her, it was way too close to comfort with what she had been like at Malory Towers.

“I think free will is important,” she said at last, “Sunday reminded me that … I don’t…er that it’s important to be able to grow as a person and learn from past mistakes and behaviour and free will allows you to do that,”
