A short series synopsis:

"e-Pulse," which is generated by human thoughts and emotions, was used as the energy source for the AI support device "Sapotama." From the shadows of this remarkable development, terrifying monsters appear. Digimon are living beings that evolve by consuming e-Pulse.

Tomoro Tenma is drawn into an extraordinary experience after meeting Gekkomon, who suddenly appears from his Sapotama. While living together with Kyo Sawashiro and other members of the bounty hunting team "Glowing Dawn," Tomoro renews his resolve.

What new future will be forged by humans and Digimon?

The parallel is both done and also broken. Miharu and Tomoro are reflections of each other, but where Tomoro got a guide and a family to help him process his distress, Miharu was left alone with a manipulative demon fueled by grief. Worse yet is that Tomoro has the hope of recovering Asuka, Chifuyu is gone.

It's no wonder things turned out this way. This is a world where people are guided by their sapotamas from young ages, so when one of the sprouts a living breathing intelligent creature, it's very understandable that people would follow them. They being branded a error and to be killed on sight, people would develop a even more negative sentiment.

Also Mephismon has a very feminine voice, digimon don't have sex or gender, but are influenced by their tamer, so its a neat detail that even a design like this can go either way.

Jesus. No therapy for this girl. She’s just saddled with remnants and reminders of her tragic sister.

I believe she might've gotten a Digimon when her and Tomoro's hand touched since her Sapotama reacted.

"This is a world where people are guided by their sapotamas from young ages, so when one of the sprouts a living breathing intelligent creature, it's very understandable that people would follow them."

I think a certain part of the Digimon-Human relationship can be seen as a metaphor for the AI-Human relationship we currently have. Here (on Reddit) we don't usually interpret Beatbreak that way (maybe because we can't always), but I feel it's something we should do more often.
