im still stuck on ep 3 guys. Because in the beginning of the ep La’An refuses to talk about anything with M’benga and at the end shes practically begging the time lady to.
And maybe part of the reason La’An felt she could get so close to this guy was because on some level she knew he was never going to stick around. Sometimes its easier to bond with strangers because you’re not scared of losing them. But, by letting her guard down she went and got attached to a version of someone who doesn’t exist, and lost him anyways.
And of course part of it was kirk. He spends the better part of the episode enjoying his walk through history, taking in the sunset, enjoying the hot dogs, the old fashioned driving, the 2d chess. Once he decided to help save her timeline, he knew his life was over. And Kirk wanted to enjoy what time he had left, wanted to feel the excitement of a budding romance one last time, wanted to feel the best part of being human before he stopped existing. Despite his impending doom and warring reality, Kirk still has a passion for life. He knows to enjoy the little things while you can, to grasp onto any scrap of happiness and hold it tight. Something La’An has been afraid to do because she thinks it will be taken from her.
Then in lotus eaters, we hear her say something like “sometimes the pain is worth remembering” and maybe shes talking about something else (she has a whole slew of trauma) but since its coming off of ep3, maybe its because the pain of his loss was worth remembering how good it felt to let her guard down and open up to someone. She learned a new way of coping with loss, not to dwell on the pain it caused but by remembering what made it worth losing in the first place

Me, logically : there must be a good reason plot-wise, why Hemmer could block the Entity but Spock couldn't
Also Me, a shameless spreader of Andorian propaganda : SUPERIORITY!!
