Cortana has always been the human side of Chief. The side that allows regular Chief to be what he is- completely battle focused. Now that she's gone, Chief will have to have something else to take up Cortana's side. And that something should be himself.
I don't want Cortana to come back as I want the conflict between Chief- the hero vs. human conflict- to be expanded upon and developed.
Anybody else feel the same way?

Didn't Cortana have a Mendicant Bias fragment with her? Why didn't it do anything to save her? With all the story built around Cortana, it seems like she got killed off for nothing. She should have achieved meta-stability.
