How ever, In your stories often feel that the ariginal WWYD scenario chages so drasticly it's hard to even regognize, or the answer goes way over the top.

Just to clarify what I mean:

This scenario was inspired by music video of "Fife finger death punch - Wrong side of heaven" video.

Slightly altered by giving you wife and kid, and making the sqad leader that saved you to be "monster hater"

Taking that in to account "Assigned Yeti wifes" WTF???? Honestly, I can see how some, note SOME could fall in love with their counceler or something like that, but Majority? in a nation that just recently were an order territory????

I mean sure, war changes things, In this case it sounds like one day someone just said

-"Hey we dont like the order anymore, so let's stop this war, and scource couple million mamonos to councel the war veterans who just have spent x amount of years killing mamonos."

That sounds just as absurd as US would start bringing ISIS figters to councel their war veterans who are returning from Afganishtan... I have a feeling that it might not work.

I feel as if you're blowing this stuff a little bit out of proportion, do remember that with the mge setting as a basis things are going to get rather wonky pretty fast.

Also remember that they did not send actual war combatants to the soldiers, I could have done better about conveying this, but what I've tacked on top of this is the idea of 'sensing' life force or whatever.

This is like a spider sense, that they've been trained to compulsively respond to with "KILL," and the more D.E. in a person, the stronger that compulsion is.

Therefore, with treaties being signed and mamono coming into their state, some marrying their citizens, they realized that they were sitting on a massive fucking problem.

I had a teacher who was descended from vietnamese people, ages ago she was a waitress or such at a bar.

A soldier who had served in the vietnam war came in with his family, and he had. . . I'll end that tale there.

Anyway, that shit was not gonna fly, so they decided to use monsters with the most human-like mana to slowly help undo the internal kill-button.

As far as the "assigning" partners, think arranged marriage, it's not normal for a nation to be able to do that, but it's just an extra law or two put the systems in order.

And considering how much the order seems to control their citizens, I wouldn't be surprised if they made laws like that on their own.

Also, Yeti are well known for their skills in pacification.

To be abundantly clear, no mamono-side combatants were paired with soldiers, not one.

They were not involved in any of the rehabilitation, either.

Also, if you're imagining massive effort devoted to tons of soldiers runnung through this program?

There were at most 64 people enhanced, 32 of which were grouped with the point-of-view character and Rufus.

I try not to go too deep into setup and backstory, so as to better focus on the story, but of course this can cause misunderstandings.
