so we know how garrus is an ‘eye for an eye’ person. and we also know how shepard got locked up for the death of 300,000 people. realistically, he should think he’ll never see her again.

but you know what else? that doesn’t stop him.

he still watches vids and does his research on how to make it work, despite everything – despite the imprisonment, despite the species-gap, despite the reapers, despite his ‘always expect the worst’ attitude, despite not even feeling good enough – it doesn’t stop him from trying and hoping it will work out between them, and he’ll be damned if he let’s the greatest threat to them come between them.

he’d never give up on them
