I'm really falling for Thane, and hard, I really didn't expect to fall this much.
He's just...it's a doomed romance from the start and both of him and Shepard know it, yet they still choose to persue it. People leave their dying spouces all the time and you do the opposite with Thane and start a relationship in spite of it.
You know you have no future together, you know this won't last and there isn't even a space for denial. But you still choose to go through it, to love him despite the inevitable grief that will follow, to still experience it and suffer rather not experience it at all.
And you have other options, especially in the third game where you can go back to your ME1 romance. And he stays in the hospital guarding them for you, a whole assassin with the softest most gentle heart who's dying from an incurable sickness decides to stay and guard your bedridden ex-lover because you clearly care for them.
The way he calls you Siha, something he has only called his wife with. You're a warrior angel in his eyes and he doesn't shy away from his feelings, his time is fleeting and he makes the most of it, the most of you.
And you know he's scared of dying despite everything he says, you get to see his weakness, see him cry. You get to be there for him after a lifetime spent in loneliness and avoiding his previous family and wife. For once he is vulnerable and you hold him, comfort him through it.

I could throw a few salarians off a cliff, if that'll make you feel better.

Pt. 2 of Mass Effect things that are so fucking funny, imagine you're a Krogan chillin on Tuchanka feelin' good about yourself when a sentient bag of water walks in with the Krogan equivalent of a living Barbie doll, high fives the president, bitch slaps a foreign dignitary, kills a demigod, and then leaves without any further explanation

I love how in Mass Effect 2 after your death your close circle of friends deal with your death by either a) going home, b) becoming a major part of the criminal underworld, or c) becoming the president.

Wrex feels like a great buddy to hang out with when you're down, especially for Shepard reader who don't want the rest of your crew to see you in a low state.
Wrex isn't ashamed of his fears or past, isn't above admitting these feelings that most people mask away. He is brutally honest and direct, especially when it comes to you and how much he has grown to trust you.
That's why you find yourself entrusting him with your vulnerable parts, knowing he will keep a secret, he will protect it and never look at you differently. Kaidan's coddling and Ashley's overprotectiveness can get suffocating at times, that's why you stopped coming to them on your bad days.
But Wrex is always there, even when you're angry snapping at people left and right, he isn't the least bit phased or intimidating by the sight of his commander being angry.
You can push and know he won't break, you can yell and know he won't budge or take it to heart. You can crumble in his arms and know he won't tell a soul of your sorrows.

« Our influence will stop Saren! in the battle today, we will hold the line! »
A kind of poster for the Virmire mission. My favorite quest from the first game! So iconic. Now I thought that the picture shows the characters that can die during this task. So much responsibility on Shepard!
