[...of Kaidan/Ash being shot.]

I can never bring myself to do that.

If it's the only option, the decision has to be made. Making tough decisions is part of the job.

[Could he have done it? The point is that he didn't. Still...it's not a nice sight to see.]

I'm glad I didn't and that it turned out that I never needed to.

I'm glad things worked out the way they did. I mean— things could have gone better, but we both made it off that platform alive. That's something.

[ UNLIKE A CERTAIN OTHER SOMEONE ]

[wellbangokay]

Yeah. [He's glad too, of course. But a few minutes ago he just saw Kaidan with a really bad wound and. Nope. Not pretty at all. He's not letting that happen.]

[oldsoldiers]

As long as you did what was right. War always boils down to the hard choices, but as long as you acted with integrity, that's what matters.

[ although being alive is nice, he gets it. ]

Although I imagine Ash would have a stronger opinion on the subject.

I'm glad it worked out that I didn't have to shoot him, but I wouldn't have hesitated if he'd gotten between me and Udina.

[Shrug.]

It's not something that I dwell on. [After all, what happened, happened.] It's just seeing it. Sometimes I forget that there are other..."realities" even beyond the scope of the galaxy. [And that there are Shepards who would or did make such choices.]

If I'd had to shoot Ash, I'd have one huge hole of regret hanging over me. But it's between her and Udina killing the entire Council? I'd like to think she'd have done the same. It's a shit world, John, when crap like that goes down. Sometimes that's the way you have to play it, rough as it is.

When you signed up for the job, making that choice was part of the deal.
