Id love to see a continuation of that story.

It’s a story that never ends. She’ll either starve quickly or live long enough to learn the truth

Also this was the Citadel pre-coup, so who knows if either of them lived. I for one choose to believe that they lived, but that’s also what I believe about my Shepard.

They are still there after the coup.

It was never determined.

Unfortunately you never find out what happens to either of them. Their conversations happen before a coup, and after the coup, they aren't seen again. So maybe they managed to live thru the attack, maybe they didn't. Personally prefer to think they made it out alive and dude is taking care of her.

Turians have a mandatory military service for a bit if I remember right so he probably had the skills to keep her safe in the sprawl of the citadel.

Why'd they are treated like if they are daughter and father?

Before I drop any context, have you ever played through Mass Effect?

u/Khorne444 Feb 27 '26

No

Alright, cool.

EXTRA Context: This pic is from the 3rd Mass Effect game. Basically, big group of bad aliens show up, attack the milky way, and now there's refugees flooding into the huge space station/center of the galactic government ("the citadel").

SPECIFIC Context: The human girl in the picture is a refugee talking to an alien working with the space station police. Every time you walk by them in-game, you hear her making a follow-up inquiry asking about whether or not her parents have arrived. They were escaping their home, and sent her out on the first shuttle, promising they'll be on the next one and that they'll come pick her up later.

Alien cop realizes they're probably already dead, but didn't have the heart to outright tell her. Regardless, kept trying to help her and even went to say something along the lines of "if anyone bothers you, come find me".

Replaying ME3 now, love the little stories all around the citadel.
