This is Gonna Be Good - my character learns your character is in fact alive after believing they were long dead.
His eyes widened as he read the report. It couldn’t be. Shepard was… alive? Impossible. His fingers clenched around the datapad as his eyes ran over the words, turning them over and over in his mind. He had read the reports from two years ago, there was no way the commander could have lived through being spaced, could he?
Sighing, he set the report down and stared at the far wall. A sense of relief swept through him, and it threw him off balance. he hadn’t realized he had missed Shepard so much, or felt so much guilt over his death. Leaning back in his chair, he fought back the urge to track down the commander and lecture him long and hard about the whole thing.
God. Maybe now he’d stop feeling so… What was the word. Lonely? Unlikely. Of course he had mourned Shepard, but he was an admiral of the Systems Alliance, he had to move on, had to learn to get over it.
A tear rolled down his cheek, and he hurriedly wiped it away. He’d definitely have to fire off a very strongly worded message to the Commander, and hoped that they met up soon for coffee or dinner.
