Re: Luna

If you tried to rank the people Luna cares about, Sansa would be near the top of the list - just below the family that Luna's served her whole life. She's barely ever had anyone who trusted or cared about her let alone a friend who was neither her boss nor dead within a few hours, so when she met someone who started off with "We're all in this together, so let's be friends and cooperate" it was practically a revelation. Since then Sansa's only ever been kind to Luna, and that only makes Luna love her more. Sansa isn't the person Luna trusts most in Panem - that'd be Sigma, who gets the advantage of a long and complicated history - but she comes in second, and may possibly be the one Luna feels most positively about since unlike Sigma she doesn't go around orchestrating death games.

It means she's that much more afraid to tell Sansa the truth about herself, though. Nobody but Sigma (and Phil in Panem, once Swattie and I get to that) has ever treated her as a real person while knowing she's a robot, and Luna herself has internalized the point. She fully expects Sansa to believe she's inferior at best and not even worth acknowledging at worst, but she also feels like she's lying by not telling the truth and so there's more than a little guilt there. She may tell her the truth eventually...whether circumstances are good or not by then is to be seen, though.

Luna knows from their past conversations that Sansa's been through a lot already, and while she doesn't want to ask about it (Sansa ought to have her privacy) it makes Luna that much more concerned about her welfare. She doesn't want to shelter Sansa, exactly; it's a little late for sheltering, and Sansa seems smarter than that. But she does want to prevent Sansa from meeting the same fate as nearly everyone else she cares about - which, incidentally, would be dying in the name of a game. It makes the fact that Sansa's still back in the Capitol that much harder to bear, because she can only hope that Sansa is safe and not on the chopping block for the battlefield or something even worse.
