wouldn't change how it ended

"On the contrary, I did not construct that barrier. And Ronin could leave the Order and walk into the Grounds whenever he likes," Isla retorts, balling her hands into fists. "And you wouldn't even know about the Spire if I hadn't come to tell you about it. The amount of things that you could do with Ascended fluid, the things the Fae could do..." She shakes her head, before suddenly things seem to grow very still again. Because she can almost see straight through Remi at this point, at his reasoning, at the aura of you couldn't stop me if you tried. "I'm saying no because it is the only thing I can do," she says honestly. "If you want my blood, you're going to have to take it from me. I can't do anything about it... I don't stand a chance. But I can say no to you. I won't give it to you just because I know I can't stop you." ISLA pray for me pray to me
