This is a simple solution. Clean. Inhuman. She's doing the hard thing when nobody else will.
But this is a scene, so she acts for him: perfectly in-character, even coloring it with shades of honesty in the emptiness of her expression and the unhappiness showing through.]

Truth be told, the pain and worry showing through make her believable. It makes her look a little plaintive under the businesslike mannerisms.]
