OK, that is an interesting sci-fi premise.
Because of an accident during Air's first demonstration, her brain became "co-habitated" by the mental self of a cranky village elder. Sometimes she can derive good advice from the old lady, sometimes she just gets in the way.
I guess that's a bit perpendicular to the main premise, but I can deal with that.
Also she performed oral sex on a guy from the Big City and now has a fetus growing in her stomach.
