I always wonder how weird this scene was for Shepard. Was it scary? Terrifying even? To be walking out in space again just a year or so after getting spaced? Trippy stuff.
Last time I played this I assumed that, although acting all “Shepard got dis”, she’s actually trying really hard to keep a lid on her internal freakout. And because she’s Commander Shepard she’s able to.
I like to imagine she’s got the emotional fortitude of a stoned monastic elcor, so that when her exhaustion, anger, and sadness show through you know she’s really struggling with it. It’s not that she doesn’t feel, it’s that she’s able to do what she does in spite of it. She’s an example of acceptance and commitment training in action.
