3. Ghosts

Shepard,

I was never angry with you. Like I said, everything banked hard to port when I saw you again. It was hell those last two years, thinking you were dead. The things I said to Joker when we crash landed… I've never heard him that quiet. As for the date on the Citadel, she didn't mean anything. I was just trying to stop seeing your ghost everywhere I look. Whenever I was laying in my bunk between planets, I saw you next to me, and whenever I was fighting, I could still hear you calling out orders.

For two years my dreams were ahunted with your last breath. I woke up screaming your name. Not Shepard. Your first name. I was screaming for the woman I loved, not my commander. I rarely ever said this, but I love you. Always. I just can't work with Cerberus now. Or ever. I'm so sorry Shepard.
