This is what filmmakers do when they turn a Wattpad story into a movie. They **halawin** the plot. It's also what you do when you get 'inspiration' from your classmate's code but change the variable names.
Distinct from 'halawan', 'halawin' refers to adapting concepts or ideas, not physical quantities. It implies transformation or reinterpretation.
