Ikora seems distracted by the reports she has been delivering about Eris's communion with Ahsa.

"There are concerns I cannot dismiss, because I carry them as well," she admits.

She considers the possible high price of Eris's actions. "The actions of the Witness will have far-reaching and dire consequences, but so would allowing Eris to be consumed by the Hive."

Though Ikora has confidence in the abilities of her old friend, a terrible doubt tinges the edge of her words.

"Eris has always been determined," Ikora says. "Now she has incredible power to match. I trust her to guide us through this… but I fear she may not know when to stop—or even want to."

"The only thing we can offer her now is support," she says firmly. "That is why I need you at her side."
