That’s an intriguing thought... and I think that, under the circumstances, you’re entirely right. Gonou and her relationship with him was definitely part of what she felt she would be unable to deal with – part of the situation she was refusing to face.
For one thing, his guilt, pain and rage would certainly have added to her burden. For another, I doubt he could have dealt with what had happened to Kanan and himself in any way but complete denial, and the attempt to live on just as before. Which would eventually lead to quite catastrophic failure.
I do see Gonou – and Hakkai – as someone who always thinks he knows best, and will refuse to entertain even the thought that he may be wrong on any issue he has made up his mind on. Stubborn and willfully blind – and Kanan knew him very well.
Perhaps she knew exactly what she was doing. Perhaps what she was actually doing was saving *Gonou* - what was left of him to save.
