I'd considered that. [and it's something she'll probably only tell cloud because she doesn't want to fearmonger everybody else, basically.] Mathis and Gale...no one expected it to escalate that bad, I think. Especially given their two personalities. But everyone knows how Karma was on the surface. It's possible someone targeted him to...maybe justify killing him. Like they shouldn't be held responsible because they took out "a threat."

[the way she says this very much indicates she does not actually think karma was a threat.]
