Ta be honest, even though she wasn't truthful about her history, she wasn't great at hidin' her feelings. That carried over into the trials, too.

She was prepared ta kill C-ta over what happened ta Riku, and we had ta talk her down from it. [It sucks real hard in hindsight of course, considering she was the other true culprit...] And she was real torn up over what happened ta Samidare and SQ. None of that came off as fake ta me.

[Having given his explanation, he shrugs a little.]

That's just my observation, of course.
