===Sexuality and love===
Given their background and upbringing, the overwhelming majority of Mikaeans will never see a child in their day-to-day lives outside of a creche, which in itself is an extraordinarily rare event as access to a creche is restricted only to creche personnel and high-ranking government officials such as the patriarchs. The bulk of a Mikaean's recollections from their time developing within a creche will be sparse and fleeting, much as is the case with humans attempting to remember their time as infants and toddlers, and thus their memory of what could be considered childhood are all intents non-existent. Consequently, the Mikaeans have an uneasy view of children, with many being noted as holding an innate {{w|fear of children}} and {{w|Tokophobia|childbirth}}, with the latter being especially terrifying to them as the predominately-female Mikaean race having knowledge of the biological truth that human females are responsible for the perpetuation of offspring within their species. The sight of pregnant human females is something which the Mikaeans find nauseating and unnatural, and their intense disdain for all things contrary to what the consider proper tends to flare up in the way of aggressive behavior, making them a direct threat to the safety of expecting mothers.
