This is an interesting concept. Right off it makes me think of an interrogation and without knowing the context this is placed in within its story, that's all I really have to go on. I guess if you think about it, the words you say and react to sort of reveal who you are, and by just simply asking and answering questions, you can reveal yourself to someone else, or figure out someone else. It makes me think of the sorority interviews I've been doing for the past two days, where they've been trying to figure out who I am from a bunch of simple questions, using their words like X-Rays to get a read on me, just as today I will be using my own to get a read on them.
