ISLA
"Because," Isla blurts, finding her eyes suddenly stinging with tears (and when did she become one to cry so easily?), "the rest of the Ascended know, Remi. I don't know how, but they know that I'm able to kill you. That I'm the only one here that would be able to kill you." Her arms drop to her sides, like she's still trying to figure out that information for herself. "Wessex came to see me, and when I went to give the seaglass to the Voice, she mentioned it as well."
Letting out another shuddering breath, she shakes her head to him. "Wessex is stepping down, and I've been asked to help lead in her place. And you're having a baby with Hotaru, after all those things you told me. And gods it shouldn't matter but it does. I'm sorry."
