I'm fairly certain this comes out AFTER the ending.
Consider this:
1) How can you "rekindle" a relationship if it was never lost to begin with unless they thought Shepard died?
2) How can you "re-connect" with old friends unless they thought you had died?
3) How can many of those friends even be on the citadel at any time BEFORE the final battle? Rex was making babies. Jacob was on the Crucible (along with many of the others). Miranda was tracking down her father and only on the citadel briefly. ect. ect.
4) Being able to make your own pad on the citadel sounds a lot like settling down to me.
5) A new threat? Unless it was for adding more companions to the alliance Shepard didnt even have time for a new threat to deal with.
This takes place at the end and its a final farewell from Bioware. They may have had this planned all along. If my speculation all turns out to be true - well played Bioware, you will have redeemed yourself in my eyes.
