Well you are misremembering a lot.
Paul does die even in the Novel.
As for Zenith, she isn't brain dead, but rather being trapped inside the magical crystal had made her reborn into a Miko, aka., a being with unique abilities, like Zanoba.
While Zanoba has inhuman strength as Miko power, Zenith gets the power of Mind Read.
But her new Miko power has a drawback, that makes her stuck in a dream-like state, aka., she is in a constant groggy state, which makes it hard for her to talk or interact with real life. Though because she is in a groggy state, Zenith herself doesn't know that she isn't speaking properly as she feels her voice is normally coming out, though it's actually her talking with telepathy which no one could hear.
People initially mistake her state as her losing her mind or memories, but later on learn the truth.
I'd like to add that while Zenith can't speak verbally, she can communicate through gestures such as patting Norn's head when she was sad or slapping Rudeus when he does something really stupid. Her telepathy allows her to be close with Lara, Rudeus and Roxy's daughter who inherited the Migurd ability her mother lacked, as well as Leo the Holy Beast. She also is unaffected by Orsted's curse, likely because she isn't fully conscious of his presence.
