The show even lampshades this and promptly handwaves it. "Hey even if we successfully kidnap Hana she probably won't do anything we say." "No, it's fine, she has a teenage girl's mentality." :what:
I'm not going to argue that the plot isn't kind of convoluted and weirdly paced but this is obviously part of the theme they're going for. That is cooperation between the generations is a good thing and that the old shouldn't dismiss the young. The same sentiment was expressed last episode when Daichi met the old guy on the station who remarked that he's no hero just some boy. To them Hana is just some little girl who can be made to do what they want and Daichi would just crumble under the pressure because they are children. Both being shown to be far from the truth. The show even has the Saltydog rep remark how the old and the young work well together at the Tanegashima base. Hell the Kill-T-Gang are basically old humanity trying to suck the life out of the young humanity. They call Daichi a neoteny which is something that keeps aspects of it's juvenile form into adulthood.

Hell, the only reason Seiren hasn't done anything so far is because she thought attacking the good guys one at a time was stupid, so instead she's been slowly building up the Orgone energy supplies so they could just attack all at once.
That might be part of it but it does seem like she's pretty conflicted on what to do. She puts on the same pained face when ever Amara starts cheer leading team Kill All Humans. Her conversation with Daichi supports this. If doctor lady didn't manipulate and use her she might have sided with Teppei but people hurt her so she wants to hurt them back. All of which makes Kanos' statement about her not getting any development strange to me.
