I can’t remember her initial reaction. I only read that she refuted the hero story.
My memory is that she is bland and accepting, if you ask her, directly did you fight, she will easily and openly tell you no, but on the other hand, if you don’t ask her and give her a parade for heroism, then she will accept that too. She seems to be not knowledgeable of and is unaware of the history and emotion and honor and so on that is connected to war events.
