"Indirectly, maybe," Garrus shrugs walking a little deeper into the circle of light cast by the fire. "I mentioned Ellora in my report, but I didn't make any recommendations."

He pauses briefly before adding, "If it's any consolation, they sent someone to talk to me too." Someone Garrus politely turned away, because while he appreciates the gesture, his insistence that he's fine isn't him putting on a tough front. He's had a long time to deal with these memories and a lot of help doing it. There are still regrets, and pain, and guilt - feelings that are rawer now than they have been in a long time, thanks to Ellora - but they're not pushing him over the edge. Not anymore.
