Kairi is an infinite source of babyface sympathy, they need to really lean on the "choosing her best friend vs her mentor" angle. I think the right play is that Asuka leads her morally astray, out of Kairi's blind loyalty to her, then turns on her too later on and beats her down for Iyo to come make the save. Asuka can get nuclear heat beating down Kairi. She's the ultimate sympy machine.
