#3. How is Ezekiel handling The Kingdom’s losses?
It wasn’t that long ago that Ezekiel was feeling great about his job leading The Kingdom. Even though everyone still respects him and looks to him for guidance, he’s struggling to feel like the King after losing nearly all of his group he brought to battle.
With only Jerry and Carol returning by his side to The Kingdom, the loss of Shiva and so many of his “subjects” hit him hard. He asked Jerry to keep guard at the door as he sulked by himself, holding the chain that used to keep Shiva by his side.
After a couple of inspiring talks from Carol, Ezekiel still wasn’t budging from his spot. However, it does appear as though he is willing to talk with Carol about the situation because he sees her as real, and she sees the same thing in him,
If Ezekiel does decide to return to the throne, he will still have the support of the people from The Kingdom. Even after the death of so many of the community’s residents, they still look to him for guidance and leadership…hopefully he sees that soon and goes back to being who they need him to be.
