Mm, are you familiar with a tsukumogami?

[i forgot he's holding an ikea shark, he lifts it up as if to demonstrate - ]

If an object like Dash here lives to a hundred years or more, they can sometimes develop their own consciousness. Based on their experience and history, and then - my Master summoned me in this form, this human-looking one, even with all that history.

So I guess I'm something in between of object and person.
