On the seventh loop, Elsie befriended Ikora Rey, and eventually managed to convince her that she was telling the truth about the dark future and Eris' fall to the Darkness. As they spoke, she despaired about how much longer she could repeat the cycle. Ikora reassured her that she was making a difference, noting that she now had her on her side, and that the path she walked was not as predetermined as Elsie had come to believe. She further observed that Elsie learned a little more each loop and was chipping away to find the core event she could change to prevent the dark future from coming to pass. Although Elsie appreciated Ikora's help, she explained that the Warlock did not understand what it was like to make one mistake that would result in years of pointlessness that she had to see through to the next reset. Ikora expressed faith in Elsie and that she would see her mission through. Reinvigorated, Elsie told her friend that she was ready, and the two departed to confront Eris, hopeful that this would be the last loop. However, they failed and both she and Ikora were killed within that week. Despite another loss and the fact that Ikora would never remember how close they grew, Elise remembered her friend's words and carried them with her as motivation to complete her mission.<ref>'''Bungie (2020/11/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Beyond Light]] - [[Retrocausality]]''</ref> | On the seventh loop, Elsie befriended Ikora Rey, and eventually managed to convince her that she was telling the truth about the dark future and Eris' fall to the Darkness.

As the trauma and endless nature of the time loops wore on, Elsie considered killing Ana before her betrayal several times, but never could go through with it.
