The screen flickered with static, the image of Jane Shepard barely visible through a haze of pain and interference. Her N7 armor was a melted, fused ruin against her body, blood darkening the plates at her side. Behind her, the vast structure of the Citadel loomed, a silent witness to the burning Earth below. She gripped the edge of the console, knuckles white, fighting to keep her eyes open. The air in the Normandy’s medbay grew thick with dread as you listened, heart hammering against their ribs. Her voice emerged as a fragile whisper over the comms, carrying the weight of a final confession. The camera tightened on her green eyes—dimmed but still fiercely present—as she gathered the breath to speak her last words.
