Dude, putting Xina Kwan up against y/n for Miguel’s affection is like putting a hydrogen bomb against a coughing baby.
Like my man is frothing at the mouth at the thought of having a second chance w this pixie manic dream girl he knew since middle school.
Xina was one of the first people who actually cared about his well-being and protected him when no one else would stand up. She outsmarted his father and made George look unbelievably stupid without letting George know.
She made LYLA, probably one of the only gifts he’s probably received from someone other than his brother. An AI he treats like a close companion and confidant because I’m sure she reminds him too much of Xina.
MAN WAS LITERALLY W ANOTHER WOMAN AND STILL KEPT A PHOTO OF HIM AND XINA BY HIS BEDSIDE. HE IS NOT OVER HER.
Their dynamic is incredibly interesting in that it goes against what people would expect from a cheating situation. Xina knows he fucked up, he knows he fucked up. YET SHES WILLING TO FORGIVE HIM BECAUSE SHES SEEING HIM CHANGE.
The theme of fixing past mistakes is so integral to miguels narrative and it so relevant in the rebuilding of trust between Xina and Miguel’s relationship. Its just so much more nuanced and interesting seeing them get back together than if they went their separate ways.
(I’m not at all endorsing forgiving a cheating partner irl, it just works for this fictional world because of the character growth and context)
She’s weird, she’s badass, she’s beautiful, and a great example of fun woc in the narrative. (whenever they’re not using her as a step stool for Dana and other 2099 writing choices). Her and miguel banter so well off of each other and she’s one of the only people he can let his guard down around.
Literally I can’t see Miguel with anyone other than her. Their two idiots fumbling around each other and I love it.
