Ah, so that’s why she’s so nonchalant about making these amazing things. It’s because she assumed they were normal. And maybe they were normal in her previous life.
Alternatively, it could be because of her former contributions, it made it seem like they‘re normal (because she overworked herself making them all). So when she died, the technology devolved because there was no one else that could make the same at such a calibre as she could. Abuse victims tend to have trouble identifying abuse after all.
