Gaze upon the unpredictable behavior of Scratch
Normally, when a new clone is created, it gets its own version of all the sprite's sprite-specific variables, which are then unaffected by changes to the master sprite's version of the variable. However, that is not the case here. All the sprites remain affected by changes to the variable "clone: variable 1" even after they are created. Deleting and recreating the variable solves the issue, as seen in this project: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/832606512/
