Chapter 54: Between the Solar Flare and the Ocean

=== Summary ===
When Shepard comes out of her flashback, they both avoid talking about it. Garrus reluctantly asks Shepard if she can be humanity’s representation on the Council, noting they had already asked her mother (who apparently laughed in Hackett’s face in response). When asked, Garrus confirms there is no one else available to do so. They set a number of conditions for her to accept the position, not the least of which is a number of contingency plans for when her mental health makes things go wrong. The two of them set up a home base back on the apartment Anderson had gifted her before the end of the war, which remarkably was untouched by the devastation. Shepard begins therapy with Sha'ira. Afterwards, she and Garrus agree the best and safest route to keep themselves and Vi safe is to keep their engagement and Vi under wraps for the moment. After having dinner with Liara, Shepard and Garrus make love with the subvocal mod on. In the middle of that heightened embrace, Shepard sends words to Garrus without speaking.
