Summary
Garrus leaves the estate on a mission that forces distance between them just when distance has become dangerous in a new way.
Shepard remains behind with Solana, Vyris, and the unbearable aftermath of what she chose at dinner. The house is still a prison, the inhibitor is still around her throat, and the war is still waiting beyond the sea — but the lines inside the estate have begun to change. Solana becomes something dangerously close to a friend. Vyris becomes an unwanted guard with a debt to answer for. And Shepard begins to understand that the thing between her and Garrus is not only desire, not only captivity, and not only hatred.While Garrus follows the trail of off-register human prisoners, the truth of the bond draws closer to the surface.
And when Shepard finally learns what the mark means, choice will become more dangerous than instinct ever was.
