I am happy for Eris, all the tragedy and pain she has overcome , I just wish I could have been the one to make her smile again, sadly our characters are not part of the story We are has Darkside Royalty Lore put it "A camera with a gun" , a pure plot device, because Bungies narrative team is dumb and doesn't know how to tell stories about the player Of course it did take 343 to take over to admit Cheif had feelings for the original Cortana , that's why Halo 4 is my favorite of the series, QuickTime bossfight aside
