I finally fully realized yesterday why it is I really feel so strongly about Kaidan, and get oddly defensive when people hate on him or give him crap for not trusting you in ME2.
Almost 2 years ago, a guy I was in love with died suddenly and unexpectedly. We'd never actually dated, but we had a long history, and he made it clear how he felt about me. I always assumed we'd get a chance someday, when the timing was better, to really see it through and actually be together.
But then he died, and the fact that whatever we had was left unresolved and hanging there just utterly destroyed me. I spent the better part of a year in a daze of grief.
And I guess as a result, Kaidan's emotional arc just really, really resonates with me. When I ran into him on Horizon in ME2, I could imagine all too well how he felt about Shepard, and her death, and seeing her there again in front of him. And his letter ripped my guts out. And in a way, it gave their relationship in ME3 that much more emotional depth for me, because Kaidan got a second chance that I'll obviously never get in real life.
edit: Sorry to get all heavy in here. I just wanted to share that.
