The Shepard here isn't quite like the Shepard I know. There are some differences in her attitude and approach, and it's taken me some time to adapt. But I have, and I'm glad I have.

FROM: vakarian.garrus@cdc.org

The CDC can be a lonely place without people, Red. Might be worth giving Green a new chance, see how you like each other like this.

is it fair. i didnt know he knew a red too. i asked him if we could get to know each other but i thought he didnt know a red at all

FROM: red@cdc.org

doesnt seeing shepard make you miss the shepard you know

[forgivetheinsubordination]

FROM: vakarian.garrus@cdc.org

Yes and no. The Shepard I know might not be doing as well as this Shepard. She wasn't as hard, and this place needs hard.

FROM: vakarian.garrus@cdc.org

I think she'd be hurting more. And I'm glad this one isn't. And I'm glad I get to be friends with another universe's Shepard.

Wanting to help him is the first step toward friendship. Maybe you can't rekindle something, but you can start it.

[ He lets time sink in the words a little more than he has. It's not something he wants to make more out of than he has, and he doesn't want to be so negative - but it's Green. A Green he doesn't know at that.

There's a sigh on the other side that can't be picked up through text. ]

FROM: red@cdc.org

do you really think he would want to be friends

[ Because when it's all said and done -- it's still Green. ]

Everyone, even prickly people, want friends. They may have been burned in the past, but people don't do well totally alone.

FROM: vakarian.garrus@cdc.org

Not only that, but you're the one person that shares a place in common with him. The one person he can talk to about home. That means more than I can put into words.

[Sometimes, trying is all that matters.]
