It was a little like being shot in the heart; she didn't immediately feel the sudden blow, the compliments to her coding cushioning the following statement. But then, her idol's words sunk in, and she managed to control her facial features with the needed modicum of grace to keep from screaming (ha, as though she could actually do that) in utter terror. After a long moment of silence, she managed to make her thin, soft voice form the words needed, "May I ask why you chose such a decision?"
She had to hear the reasoning, it just didn't make any sense any other--- realization dawned over her features. The sudden influx in field missions, running the same types she'd done before the cataclysm in Kaze no Kuni in the last five months was a dead giveaway to what her superiors had been planning. She'd simply chosen not to think of it that way, telling herself that they'd been short-staffed for women since she got there. "Oh."
What an interesting state to be in, helpless. |
