Chapter Text
Entanglement refers to a quantum theory which holds that particles that interact with each other will experience permanent dependency on each other’s quantum states and properties. This entanglement results in a loss of the particle’s individual identity, but results in the particles acting as one. Should there exist something like a “soul,” would it not operate on a quantum level? Would each soul not reach out and entangle with those that it becomes close to?
To particles that experience entanglement, the light years that separate them are the width of a single blade of grass.
When the call went out, they came. From the far-flung corners of a galaxy hard-won, they came. From lives that had only recently been rebuilt, from worlds that (in a certain light) still smoldered, they came. Her name, as it had always been, was their rallying cry. Commander Shepard needed them one last time.
