How do you usually celebrate this day, Thom?

[Bro, you're calling him by his first name. That inspires a bit of a smile.]

Never really celebrated it before, honestly. War doesn't stop just because there's a special day, you know?

How would you like to spend it? I would like to honor you, Shepard, and... Six as well in some way.

N-No, I understand. Just. Back home these days, people don't always pay attention to this day. So. I'm glad someone does.

... Fair enough, then. Thanks.
