"Karen is this AI that exists in my Spider-Man suit," he says instead. Karen somehow feels like a safer topic. "Her mission is to help me when I'm fighting bad guys, but she really is my friend and I'd really be upset if something happened to her."

A beat, and then: "I'm sure your friend would feel the same way."
