As I've said in my blog posts, I think the situation is uglier than it appears at GenBleu - and it doesn't appear all that pretty. I think the pilots are well aware that there's a kind of charade going on - they pretend to give the kids normal lives, pretend their lives are the top priority - but kids still die. And she probably feels lousy to see Ao getting drawn into that.

It's easy for me to forget their ages when I think about these things. I'm so used to children who are basically adults with slight attitude issues that it's hard to look at it in that perspective
.
To be honest, though, I don't think their relationship is really that complex or she was being that considerate. He was obviously tired, and she remarked that he wouldn't be too useful for whatever they were trying to do anyway. I do agree that Generation Bleu is definitely fishy though.
Edit: Of course, that probably won't change how shocked everyone will be if they find out Generation Bleu has been operating with an ulterior motive.
