But honestly, Lorenzo playing favorites on Elora over Serah didn’t surprise me. I figured, much like my character has a dark past but uses the T System D, Elora also has a unique quality of some sort that Lorenzo wants to exploit. Maybe her mind reading or something more...

No, you're looking at this the wrong way. It's not Lorenzo playing favorites, it's the army outright ignoring details. If he was playing favorites, I bet you Serah would be executed already since he admitted to Elora having to have been executed were it not for his command, and both Serah and Elora are guilty of the same crime: Attacking allies.
