What Alea went through was similar to Zara.
The woman she met in that space was different, the things she symbolized were different, but their conversation was similar.
Unlike Zara, the space she entered was white, filled with souls of purity. And unlike Zara, the woman she met was the brightest and most noticeable being in that space.
Yet, who would've expected it?
Despite being polar opposites in both personality and power, the way these two women thought was almost identical.
Alea didn't have such a strong connection to Damien.
She felt interest in him that she originally assumed was love, but as time passed, she realized she was wrong.
She was drawn to him because of something else, something unexplainable. It was a factor that was entirely related to her origin, the very thing she was currently chasing.
Therefore, her motivations were different from Zara's.
