♰ Further Study: Love Interest

relationship with Abel

Noelle is very much in love with Abel. During episode 8 it shows a lot more than in episode 5 where it just seems to hint. Abel is sent to Barcelona with Noelle as his partner and accountant due to the Neverland incident with Leon. So the two go to Barcelona but the investigation seems to be a bust but Noelle wants to stay. So she uses sightseeing as a guise to go on a date with Abel around Barcelona. (Pretty good plan, yes?) and it goes well except Abel is worrying about spending too much money and Noelle is drinking a ton of wine. Might be that shot of courage.

She finally asks if Abel likes being with her. Which he misses the meaning at first and says yes but catches the meaning and himself. And she gets a little upset and ask if he wants to know how she feels. He stumbles more and they are interrupted by Kate or Caterina and tells them to check out some places. So they go and Noelle is still a bit drunk but refuses to let Abel go alone. They can cover more ground with the two of them.

He disagrees and says that he won't know what to do if anything happens to her. Then she finally tells him that's how she feels and that it maybe selfish but everyday she prays she prays for Abel's safety first. She's afraid that when he leaves for a mission that she won't ever see him again. Then Abel is glad to have a special friend and that pisses her right off and she sobers right up too. Now she is mad and they continue the mission. After he leaves she ask why he just won't say it.

Now that I've pretty much summarize episode 8 as back story. I think Noelle knows how Abel feels due to her empathy but she wants him to say it. I think Abel loves Noelle the same as she love him. He just won't come out and say it because of Lilith (his former lover that he mourned for 900 years). I think he still has some commitment problems because of that and his brother. I think Abel feels like if he loves anyone they will die since his brother Cain also killed Lilith. Further more! Abel is never able to tell Noelle how he feels because during the Barcelona event, he mets Von Kampfer the one operating Silent Noise. While Abel is fighting he flashes back to Lilith and says "I promised her. Never again." Or something to that affect. So I believe that Abel does love Noelle but is afraid to say it because it would make it real. And I think he feels he would put her in more danger.

I keep saying Abel is never able to tell Noelle how he feels because durning Silent Noise, she is crushed with Barcelona falls. She can't get out fast enough and is trying to tell Abel things about what she found. While he screams at her to just get out of the city but it's no use and the building falls with her in it. In episode 9 it's announced Noelle didn't survive and Abel mourns. He grieves and falls into depression. He nearly quits AX because of this. (Esther helps him through all this.) But I do feel that because of all of this that Abel really does care about and love Noelle just as she did with him.
