Wrex: are you okay??

Regardless of being a machine, Cortana had always possessed a sense of identity and self-awareness. Rampancy, however, immediately robbed her of both. After believing she saw John die, Cortana finds herself again affronted by the concept of mortality. She pleads with John to recognize that her inevitable successor, despite being an identical model, couldn’t replace her; by admitting this, John would acknowledge Cortana’s worth as an independent entity. After a pause, John faces her, and quietly assures her that the fight is not over. A detour from the answer she wanted, yet arriving at the destination all the same: he has not, and will not, give up on her.
