Bullshit. You know better than anyone that it's personal

[ His best friend. His partner. His one and only. His Bertholdt.

Eren's best friend lived. Eren should know. Eren should understand, even if no one else ever can.

But Historia alone not knowing Bertholdt's fate…? That means Jean knows. Gabi and Galliard definitely know. Levi, Hange, Erwin—they all know. Does Annie know? How the hell is Reiner supposed to face her? What is he supposed to do, knowing that Bertholdt never had a chance to tell Annie that he loved her? ]


I can't

[ I can't do this.

No. Reiner doesn't get to say that. No matter how bad things are, he's never gotten to say that. So he changes course: ]


I can't be here right now

[ He can't be around all these people who withheld the truth for months. Can't trust himself to keep his emotions inside when they feel like they could burst through his skin. ]

I'm going to a Segment for a while. [ Then: ] Do you want to come

[ He doesn't want to be alone.

He's never felt more alone in his life. ]
