"So I'm gonna look out for you. It doesn't have to be a promise to you. It's a promise to myself."

UNITY

shinedown

[♬]

I found a note with your name
And a picture of us
Even though it was framed
And covered in dust
It’s the map in my mind that sends me on my way

They say it’s never too late
To stop being afraid
And there is no one else here
So why should I wait?
And in the blink of an eye the past begins to fade

So have you ever been caught in a sea of despair?
And your moment of truth
Is the day that you say “I’m not scared”

Put your hands in the air
If you hear me out there
I’ve been looking for you day and night
Shine a light in the dark
Let me see where you are
‘Cause I’m not gonna leave you behind

If I told you that you’re not alone
And I show you this is where you belong
Put your hands in the air
One more time

COMMANDER "JANE" SHEPARD

The Commander. Shepard finds herself adrift in Wonderland, through a combination of the Reapers trailing her even to the Mansion, the war being over, and her mental state being rough. For someone who always imagined they were here to fill a role and serve a purpose, she's found herself unsure of her future with that purpose fulfilled and the mission over. She always thought learning to be a soldier would be the hardest thing she ever had to do. Now, she's realizing it's learning how to be human.

Trying to put the worst of this behind her, all she has is to push forward. The Reapers may have been a breaking point, but if Shepard knows anything, it's that she's not easily broken. She just needs to find something in herself to fill in the gaps.

Victory will not be possible. As both events and deaths are temporary, it is also unnecessary. You did not choose this: do not blame yourself.

I WANNA GET BETTER

bleachers

[♬]

Hey, I hear the voice of a preacher from the back room
Calling my name and I follow just to find you
I trace the faith to a broken down television and put on the weather
And I've trained myself to give up on the past 'cause
I froze in time between hearses and caskets
Lost control when I panicked at the acid test

I wanna get better

While my friends were getting high and chasing girls down parkway lines
I was losing my mind because the love, the love, the love, the love, the love
That I gave wasted on a nice face
In a blaze of fear I put a helmet on a helmet
Counting seconds through the night and got carried away
So now I'm standing on the overpass screaming at the cars,

"Hey, I wanna get better!"

I didn’t know I was lonely 'til I saw your face
I wanna get better, better, better, better,
I wanna get better

LEGION

The only member of the Normandy crew by her side in Wonderland, Shepard and Legion have had a but of a rough relationship during their time. Even if she remembers some of their time they don't, and despite the strife they've come to over her choices, Shepard can't describe how much it means to her that they stand at her side. The road ahead may be long and complex, but she knows she's not alone when they're around. The trick now is making sure they know- and that she makes it as worthwhile for them as they are for her.
