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?

@fsabran - This is most likely the case, in which the "soul" itself would actually be called a Gea (cannot remember correct spelling). As I said, this is most likely the best scenario of what will happen. But, I can't help but get the feeling there will be remnants of Cortana everywhere. At least in the Chief's eyes.
