Chapter 89: Glitter and Be Gay

=== Summary ===
Shepard grouses to Garrus and Khalisha about the paparazzi; Garrus promises to take her somewhere nice where they can shoot things (if she would like) after the Gala is over. The commentators ‘ooh’ and ‘ahh’ over the couple’s bespoke clothing. After making it through the onslaught of reporters, they greet General Oraka who compliments the two of them. After Tevos gives the commencement speech, Shepard scans the crowd- noting the varied and colorful dance and conversation partners- including Liara and Aria having a deep conversation about something. After a chance run-in with the volus Drelo Tul, they accidently talk the sloshed banking manager into funding their victory tour as an engagement gift. Admiral Hackett takes a turn dancing with Shepard so he can subtly brief her on ONI believing that there are at least three Minos agents as members of Parliament, and also that he has cleared Shepard borrowing the Austerlitz. They don’t get much farther than that before Dr. Karin Chakwas steals Hackett back. Shepard finally escapes the dance floor long enough to grab a drink and discovers a wine named after Garrus. The last dance for the night is called: a waltz with a soloist performing Mein Herr Marquis, mid-dance Garrus realizes something is off as Shepard herself slides deeply into a flashback. Garrus reaches out to Entangle with her and gets a flash of bright yellow eyes before the door to her mind is violently slammed shut.
