I& #39;m still thinking about this and I feel like it perfectly encapsulates who Garrus is and the nature of his relationship with Shepard (romanced or not). Throughout the entire trilogy, Garrus& #39;s defining character trait is loyalty: paragon or renegade, Garrus ALWAYS has your back. https://twitter.com/fiannan/status/1313789748675137536">https://twitter.com/fiannan/s...
I don& #39;t think I& #39;m projecting or exaggerating when I say no one trusts Shepard more or has greater faith in them than Garrus. He& #39;s not above voicing his opinion or questioning Shepard& #39;s decisions at times, but ultimately he supports them no matter what (for good or ill).
During his recruitment conversation in ME2, when Shepard says "If I& #39;m walking into hell, I want someone I trust at my side" Garrus replies "You do realise this plan has me walking into hell too, right? Hah. Just like old times." No doubt, no hesitation. Shepard needs him? Okay.
