It wasn't like that before, but she went back and changed the outcome of this war that was fought in our world a long time ago... and by doing that, she changed the whole course of history since then. All so everyone would devote themselves to the Goddess and live her vision of a happy life.
Oh, yeah, definitely. They weren't quite this bad in my time before she changed things, but it was still really messed up. People going by numbers instead of names and having everything provided for them so they never have to feel anything but that false happiness.
Pretty much. I mean, most of 'em chose it, aside from the kids born into it, and they think it's great. But I wouldn't call it living as a human. Not in any meaningful way, anyway.
No, I wouldn't either. I mean, isn't being allowed to make mistakes and earn your keep part of what makes people... well, people?
[As she says this, though, Monika's daemon takes the opportunity to plop down between the flowers — knocking another shard onto them and causing another memory to resurface. Whew!]

[She trails off for a moment, furrowing her eyebrows.]
I mean, I can't blame her for wanting to change the world. But isn't that kind of thing sort of... cultish?
