Replaying the citadel DLC and in the last fight against the clone Garrus says "The real Shepard would have blown my head off by now" like we all love to talk about Garrus in awe of his danger girlfriend but it's just true. Man* saw a murderous clone of his wife and went "YOU'RE NOT AS DEADLY AS MY REAL GIRLFRIEND IF SHE TRIED TO KILL ME I WOULD BE DEAD". Amazing. I love him so much.
"But I found my family. I found the right thing to do. I found the way home."
Seeing the conclusion has me in tears. The Mass Effect Trilogy is something different and will have a special place in my heart that awakened my childhood love for sci-fi exploration.
Dunno if anyone has already had this headcanon, but I feel like the reason James is there watching Shepard's dance with Garrus in the Citadel DLC is because he's the one who taught Garrus to tango! He wants to make sure the turian isn't disgracing his teachings lol.
