Hey, Reiner.
Do you really not wanna know the future?
[ Eren months ago holding it over him. Eren now scared that if he knows, this ends. Eren now scared that someone else will get there first, blow open the future like Reiner blew open the walls, like Eren himself blew a hole underneath people in Liberio.
He doesn't want Reiner to know. But he's no longer sure how to keep him from knowing. Somehow it's harder than with Jean and Mikasa.
A lot of this is selfish, but some of it isn't. His fear isn't all selfish, it's the same fear he's always had just wearing new clothes: the fear of losing someone he cares about. Sure, it's his own fault, but isn't there a chance Reiner will understand? Because they're the same? ]
