Shepard bites back the urge to ask how bad, but after seeing Sovereign on the Citadel, she can imagine how bad things really were.
She just hopes the Alliance got their act together before the Reapers returned.
"Don't worry," Shepard says, returning the smile. "I can't really speak for the future me, but the me as I am right now is pretty damn persistent. If I've got to go there and take the Reapers out solo, I'll do it. So don't worry about a thing."
It might sound disingenuous, but if there was anything Shepard expected in the future, it was that she would die in the line of duty. And maybe that's why she was willing to take the risks others wouldn't.
"I think I'm done learning about the great and wonderful future for today," she says, lifting herself to her feet. "But feel free to stop by anytime. I think it'd be nice to listen to someone reminisce about the past... or my future, in this case."

She extends a hand out for Kasumi to shake.
"I'm glad we got to meet."
