Pulse 408 (Patreon)

This is Simon, designed to be Mira's love interest (Grace is Arim's love interest).  He was going to just be a human, but I thought I needed to make him look more interesting.  What I wanted was for Mira to be the aggressive tough one, and him the more shy submissive one.

What I'm trying to go for here is that it's not yet clear if she's just trying to manipulate him, or if she's interested in him.

(Spoiler below, to give some backstory I'm not posting anywhere else)

They knew eachother in the past.  Mira and Arim were sick dying girls.  After his wife died of the same thing, Nigel decided to turn them both into cyborgs to save their lives.  He made Mira a cyborg first, and she probably had a prototype body that seemed less mature.  The process to become a cyborg takes some time, and then a long process for the person to learn to use the new body.  Mira was probably a cyborg and moving around for years before Arim.  She knew Simon back during that time, before she was known as a terror.  They probably had a thing then.  She and Simon have probably barely seen eachother for years, and Arim probably doesn't even know about him.

There's more, but I don't want to ruin the eventually flashback.
