[Maybe she should stop talking. Just let it go, just try and relax instead of challenging her like this, deal with it some other time when Shepard isn't so exhausted. But... she wants to help, wants to change things.
She shouldn't have to hold so much weight on her shoulders all alone.]
You were the first to succeed- so the people became enamored with you. They talked about you and built you up, and convinced themselves that only you could do it- and convinced you, as well. Nobody else succeeded, because nobody else was entrusted with such important tasks.
...I may be wrong about that, but that is what it sounds like to me. Even if you are the very best of the best, you are still only one person. They may have made you out to be a symbol of success with no flaws- but no real person is actually so perfect as a face on a tabloid. Nobody could ever actually meet such expectations.
Whatever the realities are, though, you are not alone. Here in this place, or back home- you are not alone, Jane, and you do not have to do things on your own.
