[ She shook her head. Last thing she wanted was for Minako to think it was her fault. It was all because of how she, Monika, was. ]
I think you really need to be selfless for that. [A pause.] Assuming a secret identity, doing all those wonderful thing but never receiving any praise or compliments?
[ Over time, that'd become... Unbearable. She wasn't particularly vain or egoistical. But she needed for her efforts to be recognized. She needed other people to look at her and approve of her. She needed people to like "Monika," not "Doki Dream." ]
I realize it probably sounds very selfish, but it's more that... [If she were to judge, she'd say she was somewhere between "selfish" and "selfless."] I need external validation. Like, a lot. [She laughed.] Over time I'd become that super cliche former hero who becomes evil because she's not happy with her life, ahaha!
