[>Derrick: Remember this woman's mental state. To her, she is facing the last few minutes of her daughter's life with some boy she barely remembers talking to her like everything is going to be okay. You don't have to point it out, just consider how your words might effect her, and try to avoid putting further stress on her without a reason.

Recall your conversation about spirituality. Explain to Lucia's mother that you want to do one last thing at midnight exactly, because you personally believe it has significance. After that, if it does nothing, then you will be able to properly accept Lucia's passing. It will only take a few seconds, it will stop the behavior that is upsetting her, and she will lose nothing by allowing it.]

Here we go using legal logic to convince the lawyer to get something she wants! Logically speaking if she thinks she's right then allowing Derrick to do this will result in an outcome she thinks is correct, or even desirable for lack of a better word, so she should allow it. She'd basically be "giving him enough rope to hang himself with", and it'd allow the outcome she is trying to steer towards.
