[She straightens proudly like she's trying to play off her ignorance, but for a moment, something visibly troubled crosses her face at "scientist." It's brief, so it would be easily missed if he wasn't looking right at her, but it's still there. Her eyes turn to her hands instead, like she might be able to see what he's explaining. There's a lightly thoughtful noise that follows his explanation, and she nods.]

I guess that would make sense, then.

[Diva can remember those experiments a bit more distinctly than others, since it had taken more effort on Joel and Amshel's part to actively provoke the reaction. By the time they had discovered it, she had already lost most of her sense of pain. It was especially brutal things that had to cause her eyes to light up, only to be plucked right out of its socket.

And it makes her laugh, remembering that. She looks ahead with a little smile, deciding that it might be a fun little piece of information to share. It wasn't like she saw any threat in revealing it to Garry. Though really, she was deciding to open that door just a crack for the sake of seeing his reaction.]

It's what Amshel told me, so it's usually easy to repeat like I know. Well, now I know, so I won't have to worry about it anymore. But I guess they couldn't just look at my blood for that back then, so they actually took it out to dissect it. [She laughs] It was pretty gross!
