Mass Effect 3 rolls around and the roles are reversed. Jack found meaning in something greater than herself and acceptance in a kind of mother-hen role for an impromptu family of biotic kids. Miranda, meanwhile, has started trusting herself a little more and is now acting with agency, tracking down a lost sister and getting her revenge on all by herself. Now dump them. Jack, who knows she's good enough finally and at long last and doesn't need Shepard to tell her so anymore, plays it off. Miranda, who at that point has no one else in her life other than you, completely collapses.
I could strangle whoever made that stupid, insulting, nonsensical rule that Miranda dies if Shepard breaks up with her.
Miranda, whose romance in ME2 was about "Want" as opposed to Jack's "need", was apparently completely turned around? The assumption here being, of course, that, as opposed to ME2, she doesn't have or want her work to fulfill her life now and that she has, apparently, lost her confidence that coexisted with her insecurities. "My father hurt me but he didn't break me." but Shepard breaking up with her breaks her to the point of killing her?
I want ME3 to go impale itself on a blunt object!
