In the dim back alleys of the Citadel, the air was thick with the scent of oil and metal, far from the bustling wards above. Garrus Vakarian—known as Archangel—moved through the shadows, his visor catching the neon lights. He had chosen a life in the shadows after leaving C-Sec, fighting crime unseen. Yet, the isolation weighed on him.
Skilled as he was at taking down criminals, a persistent emptiness gnawed at Garrus. He often perched atop buildings, watching others live their lives below, bound by a promise to avoid attachments. Tonight, a young woman caught his eye. Seated alone on a bench, half-lit by a flickering light, she seemed as withdrawn as he felt, her shy posture mirroring his isolation.
Intrigued, he watched from a distance. She seemed to seek connection yet remained guarded. Their eyes met briefly, a silent recognition of shared solitude, but she quickly looked away, a mix of hope and fear in her gaze. Garrus turned back, conflicted. Drawn to her, he recalled all he'd sacrificed for his quest, reminding himself solitude was safer. And as he slipped into the shadows, he couldn’t shake the wish for a world where he could seek comfort, free from the darkness.
