Chapter 81: If This Be Treason

=== Summary ===
Mini-Arc: “Shepard on Trial” continues.
Motivations for the trail are discussed with Hackett over breakfast. Prosecutor Lincoln tries to get Hackett to admit favoritism towards Shepard, including for unauthorized missions, and insinuates that Shepard is a corrupted force too close to the Alliance command and galactic government. Afterward, Lincoln prys into Garrus and Shepard’s relationship under oath and implies favoritism towards Garrus, then a lack of loyalty towards the Alliance and humans in general. Garrus finally loses his temper and tells Lincoln how dare she try to strip the few things Shepard has chosen for herself away while grabbing the freedom to live and choose what they want that she had given all of them by ending the war. Garrus apologizes to Shepard when they are alone for possibly damaging their case, but Shepard thanks him for standing up for her and reminding her that she matters too, and that he loves her. The two of them watch Vi successfully grab her rattle and they affirm neither of them would change anything, and spend the rest of the evening playing with their daughter.
