"Maybe that depends on the psychic residue or the desires," Jo said, frowning. What she desired was far too complicated and required hard work anyway, if only to convince the people in power it's what they needed before the Earth became unliveable. But she turned back to the unreal Cliff anyway and said, "You can stay here if you like. If you're not doing any harm no one's going to hurt you."
In response the unreal Cliff looked a little green and he looked down at his stomach, which had grown very fat. And Jo realised what was going on. "Wishes and desires," she said to Jack. "It's Christmas and lots of people are wanting presents. He must have eaten too much. Can you send him home?" A thought occurred to her. "If I desire for him to go home can he make that happen?"
