This is a follow up question to this: viewtopic.php?f=59&t=80458
Similar circumstance, but with a variation that I want to clarify.
Matsu Fumiyo assigns to attack. During a battle she has Shameful Injury targeted at her. Fumiyo is then sent home from the battle with another action. If she were to return to that battlefield, or any battlefield during that turn, would the +2 Force bonus from attacking reapply itself, or does it get negated? Was it ever lost due to her returning home? Thanks.
Shameful Injury Battle: Even if you control no units at the current battlefield: Negate all current Force bonuses and penalties a target Personality has received from actions. Until the turn ends, negate all new Force bonuses or penalties on him from actions.

As Matsu Fumiyo's +2F is a trait and not an action, Shameful Injury does nothing to it.
However, if Matsu Fumiyo recieved a force bonus, say, from Charge, Shameful injury would negate it, and any further force bonuses (or penalties!) until the end of the turn, regardless of location, as per card text.
