I would dispute the fact that
Kalani was a maller. Chen Huey gives
Saul and
Victor "...a short stack..." of files on "...all the
places, times and interactions with anyone from there." Victor takes note of names of people who had had contact with
the mallers and Chen Huey says, "Never mind that, they're all dead now." I'm not saying definitively that Kalani
wasn't a maller, but all you can prove from this exchange is that Chen Huey knew Kalani and that he had an interaction with the mallers at some point in the past. I think that this will lead to some interesting exposition on Chen Huey's part and the mutual acquaintance will help Saul and Victor bond with Chen Huey, but I don't think Kalani was a maller
