Wei Wuxian generally saw the contestants as his responsibility — it was his duty to help them, shepherd them, and be their constant as they went through the four weeks of being in the dating game. He thought that especially with Luka. Learning more about his backstory, seeing the way he thought about things, the attachments he made and the awkwardness that he approached things with all made Wei Wuxian feel like Luka was a wayward junior of his that he had to take care of.
There's a part of him that can't help but see Luka's struggle through his own personal lens. The suffering of taking on filial debt and letting that dominate your life. He knows that Luka doesn't see it like that but for him, it seems so obvious that Luka's been brainwashed into thinking he's truly indebted to his father for just being alive. It makes him deeply unhappy because Wei Wuxian lost his first life due to the weight of that specific kind of debt. As a result, he really wanted to Luka to find a way to let go of it over the course of the four weeks.
He's so, so, so happy that Luka found Maya and while he's worried a little about the intensity of his infatuation with Maya, he thinks if it's leading him to a healthier path that has him thinking for himself and choosing his own happiness over his father's, then maybe that's good enough. He still kind of gives him the heebie jeebies though, like, lowkey, but Wei Wuxian doesn't really mind that either. In his head it's kind of like when a predator meets another predator but they have no reason to fight. He's not scared of Luka but he does know things could've gone much differently if he wasn't careful.
Either way, he's happy for Luka's future and kind of relieved he won't have to see him again LMFAO.
