i can literally feel my hamster wheel of a brain working overtime to comprehend this book lol. there’s probably so many different interpretations that everyone has since it’s left ambiguous. but my personal take is thinking of the hybrids as like writing ideas? or stories?

when the bunnies are making them, they draw inspiration from already existing literature/media/people and use rabbits out of convenience since the campus has an abundance of them. and that produces a result but it’s ultimately mediocre and creatively bankrupt. whereas samantha has the real talent of crafting unique stories from swans and stags and gives them a true life of their own.
