Everyone can become better through the power of love.

Summary
Mia used to be extremely spoiled before the revolution.
After the revolution and time-travel, she starts to make steps to improve, but she is still very self-centered.
As she grows attached to people around her, including Abel, she starts changing as a person.
Mia’s Arc
After going through three years in prison and being guillotined, Mia got her own future diary, which she uses to possibly avoid another guillotine. All the improvements she has made for people around her, including the hospital and kitchens in the slums, are made with the same goal of escaping the guillotine.
You might argue that it doesn’t matter how the poor got their food and healthcare, but Mia is the main character of the story. That means she may and probably should have an arc. With how many flaws Mia has, it is entirely normal to expect her to become different, less selfish and more invested in others. By now, with six episodes out, we have noticed one change in her, and that is her attachment to Abel.
Is Abel the Key to Mia’s Growth?
Abel and Mia have been growing to like each other ever since they met at the end of episode 3. In fact, according to both Abel and the narrator, Mia has been changing Abel for the better. She told him early on in their friendship that if he felt undeserving of her, he could try to be better for her, and Abel took those words to heart.
But Mia is not completely unaffected by Abel’s kind and chivalrous nature. She clearly grows to care about him, which is especially clear in episodes 5 and 6, when they are often together. It takes time, of course, but Mia is starting to think of someone other than herself, and that is an improvement.
What About the Others?
Mia doesn’t only spend time with Abel, after all. And while she does not seem to be as close to most people, she is close to Anne. Anne was the one who did not abandon Mia when she was in prison, and since the time travel, Mia has been trying to thank Anne with better treatment and privileges. Mia doesn’t show explicit fondness to Anne, but she remembers her loyalty, and she tries to reward it.
In other words, the person who changes Mia to the better doesn’t have to be Abel. Or it doesn’t have to be just Abel. As Mia makes friends like Chloe, she comes a little closer to caring about others, to loving others, and that just might be the feeling that will help her grow as a character.
Everyone can become better through the power of love.
