   Summary

   After surviving the attack on the Citadel, Saren struggles with whisperings of his actions while indoctrinated as well as the shadows of his past. Angry that Shepard interfered with what he deemed a fitting death, he isolates himself in his forced retirement. Though the humans on the colony he is sent to, and Shepard herself, have different plans for him.
