Hyuna was still a kid when he got taken away, the only family she had. She's never experienced loss before, and she likely wasn't given proper care for it.

With Luka still being at her side, oblivious to how much Hyun Woo's death has impacted her, it was likely difficult to come in terms with what happened. She just lost someone really important for her, but the only other person she's close with acts as if nothing has happened.

In Wiege, we finally get some answers regarding how he was born and raised. This scene, in particular:

It's obvious that Luka broke into this place without permission, given that he's holding something that he's likely used to rip the capsules with naked bodies inside. His left hand is on the switch, and the scene ends with aliens reaching out to him.

This is the first instance of Luka's rebellion that we get to witness.

His body is frail, there are many frames of him being connected to the monitoring devices. It paints a picture of him being highly dependent on the support that his owner provides. One might think this is why he wouldn't dare to against the rules.

Which is why I find the second frame so interesting.

His room is covered in posters of a known "human terrorist", and he kisses Hyuna's image in front of the cameras. He isn't afraid of getting punished for it, and that makes me wonder if the owner knowingly indulged him in this one obsession, under assumption that it'll keep Luka compliant.

"I resented you so. I had to keep moving forward in every moment... But you were always my one and only weakness. That's why I resented you so. Luka, live with love. Embrace the pain, the frailty and the moments so unbearably shameful. Forgive yourself... Again and again, endlessly. Because everything... begins from there."

She hugged him when they first met. She made him laugh and then she hugged him.
