* {{Foil}}: To Professor Cerise from ''Blossoming Trail''.
** Professor Cerise never tried to contact Chloe when she went missing (although it's under the lens that he didn't know it was possible since Goh never said anything about it). Lusamine ''immediately'' asks where Gladion is after he's been missing for a week.
** Professor Cerise's funds mostly come from donations, governments, and so on, and recent events cause those funds to take a hit. Lusamine, meanwhile, has so much money that even if the AbsurdlyHighStakesGame she has with Lillie ends in her loss, she won't need to worry about it.
** It takes a lot of probing and trauma to get Professor Cerise to realize what a bad father he's been towards his children, and a big spectacle is made out of it. Lusamine realizes and tries to atone for these mistakes with little fanfare.
** She contrasts [[spoiler:Amelia]] as both [[spoiler:lost someone they loved -- Mohn was sucked into an Ultra Wormhole, Alrick died young in a motocross accident -- but both had different ways of coping through it. Amelia entered the Train and wreaked havoc for 33 years to recreate her life with him, whereas Lusamine got into her work and did her best to raise her children properly. Lusamine is blond in a white dress, Amelia is a brunette with a black cloak/grey suit. Lusamine is in her 40s, Amelia is in her 60s.]]
** After ''Voyage of Wisteria'', she's seen as one to Goh's parents as she at least ''tries'' to see a work-life balance for her children while Goh's parents don't have a live ''outside'' of work.

* PoorCommunicationKills: Long story short, the only reason Lillie's problems got so exasperated is because she refused to use her mouth to fully express what's going on.
** Dulse tells Lillie that while Gladion ''is'' responsible for never revealing what he saw that night, Lillie is ''also'' at fault for never telling her mother about what happened. If Lillie said ''anything'' about her trauma, her mother would've dropped everything to figure out the cause of it, or at least spent more time with her.
** If Lillie actually tried to heed Mallow's warnings about why she shouldn't give orange lilies to her brother, but rather explain how upset she was about Gladion keeping her trauma secret for years, the story would never have happened and this probably ''would'' have killed her brother.



* ThereAreNoTherapists: Spent years going without any professional help dealing with her phobia. Lusamine was blamed for not doing anything about this; Lillie herself blames Gladion for not revealing what he knew sooner. Dulse points out that ''she'' is also at fault -- after all, she had the chance to tell her mother about her problems, so why did she never take that chance?

* UngratefulBastard: PlayedWith; Gladion sees her as one after their fight, as he helped jog her memories with Silvally. Problem is, that only came after years of him intentionally keeping her LockedOutOfTheLoop, and he would have ''continued'' doing so if not for Cosmog, or Faba's machinations.

** Dulse also puts another dent in her armor; sure Gladion is at fault for not telling her sooner, but why is ''she'' getting away with being innocent when she had all the time to tell Lusamine that she had a problem?



* ParentalIssues: She and Lusamine don't see eye-to-eye that often, though Lusamine is working to bridge the gap and Lillie cares enough about her to tell her that she's taking too much of a risk with herself (with that risk involving the very job that keeps Lusamine busy as much as it does). Dulse even points out that most of Lillie's problems could've been softened if she ''told'' Lusamine about them.

** Mallow and Lillie were friends in canon, but they didn't get that focus. In here, their relationship gets a little bit of focus, and it's as strained as you'd expect from a spiteful brat who won't let go of her anger and a former Passenger who won't open up about the nature of the Train.

Especially when Lillie starts projecting onto Ulu...



** This gets more pronounced near the end of Act 1, where she outright snaps at Mallow's brother Ulu for a honest mistake, and tries to justify it by projecting her relationship with Gladion onto his relationship with Mallow, something that Mallow herself doesn't appreciate.



* HeelRealization: During the intermission, she comes to realize that she might've been going a bit too far by projecting on Mallow's brother, and intents on apologizing to her.



** She also hates Gladion for effectively abandoning her all those years, and yet she effectively abandons him as well when he goes missing and she convinces herself that she doesn't care because he'll now know how ''she'' felt.
