Mistress Gaia wanted to hand smother this guy because he was a spy and he had collected info about her and she did not know who he was taking it to and why. So she had to get all the info he had about her and to know what he had already sent and to whom as well as what it was going to be used for. She hand smothered him till he choked before he agreed to give her the info she wanted and he promised never to spy on her again.
