In Provoking Odium, Odium initially views Mohini as a rival for Briella’s attentions.
He hasn’t yet claimed Briella, is frustrated by the distance between them, by their long distance relationship. And he knows Briella is a one-of-a-kind female, a female anyone would battle to have as their own.
He also only has bits and pieces of information. He hears how Briella speaks about Mohini, sees on the footage the caring the two females have for each other. Their emotional bond appears to rival the one he has with Briella.
This over-the-top initial possessiveness won’t likely extend to other platonic relationships.
Cyborgs value friendships. Their relationships with their brethren and with others are special for them and they would never deprive their genetic matches of similar relationships.
Once a cyborg has claimed their genetic match completely and that bond has solidified, they become more confident and tend to react less emotionally to friendships and other relationships.
They realize their genetic match is theirs. Forever.
