Way before Zielle's time, there was another.

Kira.

Kira was everything Zielle wasn't, which is why Zadkiel is confused on the attraction. What he wants with Zielle was nothing like that of Kira.

With Kira, he wanted to give her the world, to protect her from the dangers that were yet to be revealed.

Zielle.....Zielle confused them. Everything she did was odd. After noting that she was being watched, she was no longer cautious. She did not lock her door at night like she used to.

Like she was waiting for him to come in.

It was something that Zielle had noticed before, the creeping feeling of being followed. It had bothered her, scared the girl even. That had changed after she had gotten a glimpse of it. They were tall, taller than her at least. His hair was longer, too. His eyes seemed to have all of the answers to the questions she had ever asked. They had seen her glance towards him. Seen how she blushed and smiled.

Zielle was flattered.

There's something so intoxicating about the power dynamic. The way he simply stares and she kneels.

Hopeless.

It's completely hopeless for her to do otherwise. However. Zielle would rather die than turn away, than to tell them no.

To be a good doctor, Ezra has to watch. That's what he has always done. It's no surprise that he figured everything out before the others. At least, the others who are clueless. Like lambs, they all follow Zadkiel and his lies. The question is, how could they all ignore the signs that are so apparent?

Ezra notices.

Ezra watches.

Ezra knows.

In order to understand Simon, you must first acknowledge the difference in the reality and delusion. Zadkiel offers delusion and avoidance in exchange for prayer. To follow Zadkiel, is to live a lie. To live a lie is to live better than you are now.
