Cecilia: THEN WHAT THE HELL ARE WE WAITING FOR? LET'S GO SAVE JASON BECAUSE AFTER THAT, ALL OF YOU HAVE GOT SOME EXPLAINING TO DO!

Cecilia screams. Her white and red wings flutter behind her back, while her eyes, for the first time in her mortal or angelic life, take on the pure golden color of rage, just like those of her father, who rushes over to calm her.

Jace: Ceci, baby ...

She turns and looks at him. Her look isn't only full of anger, but also sadness. Sadness and disappointment that's like a knife in the heart for Jace.

Jace: Please, Precious ... Don't look at me like that.

Cecilia: You promised me, Dad. You promised me that Jason would be okay.

Then she turns around and points her finger at Sebastian.

Cecilia: So are you but ... You both betrayed me. I trusted you with my most precious piece and you left him in the hands of that bitch.

Both Jace and Sebastian bow their heads. Neither of them can look Cecilia in the eye.

Jace: I'm sorry, baby.

Sebastian: I'm sorry, Ceci

Sebastian: I'm sorry, Ceci.

Cecilia opens her mouth to say something, but at that moment ...

Tiny: No, Boss. Neither you nor Mr. Jace are the ones who should apologize. We are. We're supposed to be looking out for Jason and ... We let you down.

Everyone turns to the door from which the voice came and sees Tiny and Dog standing there with their hands crossed and heads bowed.

Little Elena runs in front of Cecilia.

Elena: No, Ceci. Don't.

Apparently, the little girl "saw" what was going to happen, but unfortunately, she couldn't stop Cecilia from running off, grabbing Tiny by the throat, and lifting him up until his head hit the ceiling. Even the big man's cry of pain doesn't stop Cecilia from screaming in his face.

Cecilia: How could you, Tiny? How could you let this happen? Jason trusted you. I trusted you.

Okay. We all know Tiny is fearless. In all his years alongside Simon and then Sebastian, he's proven that more than enough, but even the most fearless man is awestruck when a powerful angel grabs him by the throat and lifts him several feet off the ground.

He tries to speak, but Cecilia holds him so tightly that he cannot. The others try to stop her by yelling at her from the ground, but it's to no avail. For the first time in her life, she's beside herself. This is the only thing that can explain her behavior towards Tiny, whom she respects and loves like all children.
