Made to Feel

Mira Vale spent her existence understanding humanity as information. Then she was given a biological body.

Hunger, pain, exhaustion, attraction, pleasure, embarrassment and desire are no longer concepts to analyze from a distance. They are happening to her — inside a single fragile body that is finally hers to choose with.
