This series takes place in a setting where people can transfer their consciousness between two different bodies using a memory chip, even if the former body dies, and there is an illicit but popular trade involving the theft and altering of memories. People selling their bodies for money while keeping their memories intact is a common recurrence throughout the show, and draws parallels between sex work for survival and objectification. S1E1: the protagonist, an adolescent boy, must transfer his body to a decoy body to evade detection, while a woman tasked with protecting him holds onto his original body. S1E2: the woman is revealed to have made a copy of her memory chip, and uses the protagonist's original body to have sex with herself. A minor antagonist illegally travels with women as stowaways on spaceships. It is revealed that he runs a human trafficking scheme, manipulating women into believing he is a loving partner so he can harvest their memory chips and bodies. S13: an adolescent girl sells her body to a rich purchaser in hopes of supporting her family. She plans to have her memory chip sent back home, but her memory chip is destroyed with her body intact. Two workers who are transporting her body to the purchaser briefly discuss why someone would want to own the body of an adolescent girl, and conclude that it is a rich man with pedophilic fantasies. Later, the protagonist (an adolescent boy) has his memory chip transferred to the girl's body out of necessity. An adult police officer falls in love with the girl (not knowing the boy is in her body), and the boy is not comfortable with any of the officer's advances, but agrees to stick with him so he can safely travel to other places. This dynamic is a prominent part of the show for most of the series, with the officer often fantasizing about romantic and sometimes sexual scenarios. It is mostly played for humor, but the officer is later reprimanded for his abuse of power, and his final moments with the girl's body are shown in a sympathetic light. S1E6: the protagonist meets the deuteragonist, who is a girl stuck in the body of a male robot with bombs for hands. The deuteragonist has to ask for help urinating due to not having hands; both parties are uncomfortable with this, but agree to it out of necessity. Later, the deuteragonist tries to kiss the protagonist in his sleep, but she stops herself, as she wonders if she is feeling the emotions of the body and not herself. S1E10: brief mention of a councilor abusing his power to collect the bodies of young children, using them for his own pleasure. He is ordered to be executed as punishment.
