I mean

She literally didn't have a choice in getting the cybernetics.

It was get the cybernetics and become a trained assassin, die, or spend the rest of her life as a cheap prostitute. It's glossed over purposefully in her history because she herself doesn't consider it a huge deal at her current age.

That's just the way it is to her. They're just another thing that was forced on her. I thought I made that clear enough, and I am unsure why/how I need to expand on it more.

I'll try to expand on it, but I'm just having difficulties because the character herself doesn't consider the cybernetics a huge deal or very life-changing. Effectively, It's not a huge part of Mien's character, and in no way does she herself think twice about them or consider them a huge deal.


EDIT: To put simply because it's late and I might be rambling a bit - 

Mien views the Implants as nothing more than convenient tools. Without them, she wouldn't be any different. Without them she'd still be the same. Without them, she'd still be the goo-girl with slightly sociopathic tendencies and a lust for power/survival. They are nothing more than a disposable, convenient tool that she doesn't need to live or survive.

I apologize if this comes off as slightly antagonistic or otherwise like I'm arguing, but no, getting implants was not a huge or important thing for Mien nor were they life-changing as you suggest.
