I'm definitely speaking up in defense of Lucia here.Alunissage wrote:What about it? Both she and Hiro look like idiots in that scene.
Hiro: Look how simple everything is going to be! You get to do your job!
Lucia: You just don't understand! But I'm not going to explain!
Hiro: I just don't understand!
Lucia knew that what she was doing would risk destroying all of humanity. If her suspicions were right, and Althena wasn't around (she could feel her power, but not her actual presence), then she would have to use Althena's power herself to seal away Zophar--which meant destroying Lunar as well.
She knew that "meeting" Althena would confirm or deny this, and set out what she would have to do. So it was a huge decision weighing on her, and one which was real simple while she was on the Blue Star, only complicated now that she's become involved with humans.
Hence, she felt Hiro wouldn't understand--or, rather, that if she explained, Hiro would abandon helping her in her mission (I mean who would, if you knew it would risk all of Lunar?). Given that, she couldn't explain, even though she liked Hiro, and she couldn't really say why she couldn't explain. KF
