Later, she was stationed on [[Titan (moon)|Titan]], and faced the [[Hive]] there. Shayura fought a [[Knight]] that [[Takul-Dar, the Unbreakable|continuously]] [[Necromantis|resurrected]] itself. Being lightless, the experience left her deeply traumatized. | ||
During the [[Pyramid]]s Arrival, Shayura came under heavy stress, mostly in relation to [[Sloane|Deputy Commander Sloane's]] refusal to leave Titan and a fear of losing her Light again. Consequently, she frequently came into conflict with her friend Aisha. This came to a head when Shayura experienced a traumatic flashback during the [[Trials of Osiris]], resulting in her repeatedly killing an opponent, [[Leitka]]. She became wracked by guilt and began to question her worth as a [[Guardian]]. This anxiety turned into conviction with the Reformation of the Traveler, where she decided to hunt those who would turn away from the Light. | During the [[Pyramid]]s Arrival, Shayura came under heavy stress, mostly in relation to [[Sloane|Deputy Commander Sloane's]] refusal to leave Titan and a fear of losing her Light again.

Since her arrest, Shayura had been confined to the Last City Detention Facility, under careful watch but as she stayed in her cell, she constantly prayed, stating the things she exalted but would ultimately be reduced to tears as she becomes haunted by [[Nightmare]]s, her guilt consuming her. During a session with her Doctor, [[Syeda Uzair]], Shayura largely remained depressed, with her contemplating that the Traveler may be ashamed of humanity with Doctor Syeda merely replying that hope is in short supply and that she wanted to bring in some guests: her old fireteam. With tears in her eyes, Shayura finally realized she there is one thing she can still have faith in: her family.<ref>'''Bungie (2022/5/24)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Haunted]] - [[Armor|Armor Lore]]: [[Atavistic Idol Suit#Atavistic Idol Mark|Atavistic Idol Mark]]''</ref> | Since her arrest, Shayura had been confined to the Last City Detention Facility, under careful watch but as she stayed in her cell, she constantly prayed, stating the things she exalted but would ultimately be reduced to tears as she becomes haunted by [[Nightmare]]s, her guilt consuming her.

Reed-7 and his Ghost were killed by The Witness during that time. His death would weigh heavily on both Aisha and Shayura, with Shayura feeling survivor's guilt, but also feeling that his death was not justice. On one occasion, she visited his grave to pray for him, when she was approached by Sister Faora, a member of The Cult of Osiris. Although she rebuked the cultist, Shayura listened intently when Faora wanted to offer friendship considering the Warlock's past history. | ||

Following her imprisonment and eventual escape, Shayura lost all faith in what she once knew, feeling that all her friends either abandoned or betrayed her. She would continue with her mission to hunt down Guardians who wielded Stasis. Further, she refused to accept peace with former enemies, as the [[Vanguard]] had with their armistice with the [[Cabal]] and their alliance with the [[Fallen|Eliksni]] [[House of Light]]. She would even murder such individuals, including non-combatants, much to the disgust of a [[Hunter]] she was pursuing, who went as far as to compare her to [[Dredgen Yor]] himself and [[Shin Malphur]]. | Following her imprisonment and eventual escape, Shayura lost all faith in what she once knew, feeling that all her friends either abandoned or betrayed her.

Seeing the Hive, the greatest enemy of humanity, bearing the Light against the Guardians left a traumatizing impact on Shayura's psyche, leaving her in a defeated, nearly catatonic state. Feeling that she had nothing left, Shayura surrendered herself to her teammates and the [[Last City]], with her teammates deeply saddened at her state. | ||
During her re-imprisonment within the Last City, Shayura managed to overcome the near catatonic state she had been in since her encounter with the Lightbearing Hive. However, due to that encounter and subsequent shattering of her previous worldview in which those who used the Light were good and those who used the Darkness were evil, Shayura suffered from immense guilt from the murders she committed on what she now realised were truly good people despite their use of Stasis. Her [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post-traumatic_stress_disorder PTSD] is now so severe to the point where she can no longer pray or close her eyes without seeing the faces of all the people she murdered and hearing them beg her for their lives, causing her to be reduced to tears. Like everyone else, Shayura's faith in the Traveler has also been deeply shaken by the Lightbearing Hive and she starts to wonder who judges [[Paracausality|paracausal]] entities like the Traveler and the [[Pyramid]]s. The disgraced [[Warlock]] has also become fearful of others due to the immense guilt she feels, as when she heard that her psychiatrist, Doctor [[Syeda Uzair|Syeda]], wanted to bring in some guests for their next session, Shayura immediately became defensive, fearing who these guests might be, out of shame for her actions. | During her re-imprisonment within the Last City, Shayura managed to overcome the near catatonic state she had been in since her encounter with the Lightbearing Hive.
