From the way she describes her abs [[spoiler:while they're disintegrating after her bond with Mica was severed]], she might be intentionally shaping her body to be attractive.

** Liv defuses the situation, rescuing Mica and winking flirtatiously at this cute girl she's never seen before.

It is a drama, following Mica as she tries to put her life back together: moving into a new apartment, getting a new job, and making new friends. Unfortunately, one of the first things she does is accidentally bind herself to a demon that had been haunting said new apartment. And perhaps even worse, she hasn't done quite a good enough job leaving her old life behind....
