So this is my fourth installment of the Shepard Series and second part to Commander Shepard --Destroy. If you had enough galactic readiness, your Shepard survived.
However, I think that Shepard might not come out the same. Just think about it. Shepard might have sacrificed the minority for the good of the majority, but their deaths are on your conscience. Legion's sacrifice was for nothing and so was all of what EDI learned.
So, while I was coloring this, I tried remembering a quote that would fit what Shepard might feel; this deep regret that I'm talking about followed by self-doubt. Then I remember a quote from the first game, right after Shepard mutinies against the Alliance in order to pursue Saren. She says: "I keep on trying to tell myself that we're doing the right thing. I don't believe me yet." I thought that quote fitted the image the most.

Even when synthesis shows a seemingly balanced resolution - it still gets underscored by the billions or more who are dead including Shepard and all the squad mates for fell by the way side on the journey to end this cyclic war.
Still I was moved to see so many races together flying in formation for Earth because well they could do no less for all that Shepard has done for them.
I love all these btw
