Is it theft to steal someone else’s memories for a project? How about if they give you permission?

My Patchwork collection is making me oddly happy right now, so I am trying to add to it. It is a relief from my main project, which I estimate is going to take 12 million years, assuming I manage to not ruin it before completion. I had gotten as far as to complete this one:

“Ramona”

Maybe it isn’t stealing. Maybe good memories spread and blend, and amplify your own, like magic.
