I have to do it.
Everything I have ever done, all those sacrifices, all those deaths... I did it to save the galaxy.
Ashley, Thane, Mordin, Legion, Anderson. Everyone we lost, died so we could stop the Reapers. They didn't die just so we could work with them. They didn't die just so we could merge with them. They died so we could destroy them, once and for all.
I was ready to die to save the galaxy. Despite all the encouragement from my crew and my people, there will always be a part of me that knew it would all come to this. And I always knew I would be willing to make this kind of sacrifice.
To give up my body to control the Reapers? I would do it. To give up my soul to merge organics and synthetics? I would do it. But can they actually be trusted? Can the Intelligence be trusted? What the Leviathan said about the Intelligence was lingering in my mind. It will always be a matter of time when they would turn against us. I couldn't risk it. It sounded too much like a plea for mercy.
No. The only way I could end this, is to destroy them.
EDI.
Joker would never forgive me.
Garrus.
He would never forgive me.
Fortunately though, it looks like I won't be alive to hear the end of it.
I gingerly raised my hand and started to pull the trigger.
Liara, take care of Garrus for me will you?
