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
[ Maybe it was somewhat, but not in the way everything is for Eren. Ugh. He should tell Reiner the truth, but he's not going to write it down. That seems too impersonal, and Eren has grown beyond doing shit like that this week.
Come to think of it, Eren's not sure if Annie knows or not. He's not sure when she's from, exactly, or when she learns this anyway. Eren never saw Annie face to face again, not as a human. This Eren, here and now, only knows that she wakes up and fights against him with everyone. Whether he realises that her waking up is also his fault, who knows. ]
If you want me to come, I'll come.
[ JUST KIDDING he's already out the door. Leaving Reiner alone doesn't seem like the best option here. ]
[ Reiner doesn't text back. Instead, he activates the ring he wears, connecting himself to Eren by a red string only they can see. Showing Eren where he is, where to find him.
Then Reiner packs his supplies and heads out, joining Eren as they leave civilization behind. ]

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