To her credit, the German answered the questions as truthfully as she could with as few words as possible. Pain or strain recently? Yes. Any mental stress? Yes. Physical pain? Yes. How intense and for how long? Mostly a quiet ache, sometimes a searing pain. Under what circumstances? Emotional stress and physical stress cause it to sear.
When she had finished answering the questions, her gaze turned towards the scanner. She said nothing, but her icy gaze never left the device. Just what was it, and what were they hoping to find out? The German already knew the answer; there had to have been a mistake. Clearly she was failing miserably at this whole "shinmen" thing. Would they take her off 'active duty' like they did to Miyume? These thoughts aggravated her slightly, and her eyes narrowed ever so slightly as she became lost in her own thoughts.
