SessionEndedRequest Error

Hi - I'm getting the following input from Alexa whenever a User says "No" in my service. I cannot figure out why this is happening. There is only one intent that responds to a "No", so it seems to me that it wouldn't be an issue over intent conflict. Any guidance/suggestions? "request": { "type": "SessionEndedRequest", "requestId": [redacted] "timestamp": "2016-02-19T21:39:11Z", "reason": "ERROR" }

You'd see a SessionEndedRequest if the request didn't actually pick up any audio, or if it was unable to parse the audio it did get. It's basically Alexa's way of saying "k, the user stopped interacting with your conversation, go ahead and do whatever shutdown stuff necessary". I've seen this happen before with very short utterances, so I wonder if it's just failing to register the word "no" at all.
