[The experience overall is overwhelming. The sounds of the would-be titan being slain doesn’t bother him. It’s Aubrey’s disturbing words, and someone else’s too - Reiner Braun’s voice. But why is he talking about Eren that way…? It almost makes Armin angry; in fact, it does make Armin angry.

[It does make him angry.]

Listen to yourself.

[His voice is as calm as it is firm.]

Break each other.

Destroy each other.

What the hell good does that do?

[There’s a long pause, and then he shakes his head, disappointed.]

I can’t pretend to understand how people love like that. Why is everyone so hellbent on hurting each other? Is the world not cruel enough?

Here, at least, can we not just love each other?

[Again, his voice remains calm. Anyone standing on the periphery of this conversation likely wouldn’t realize he’s upset.]

And I’m not “too good” for anything. I’m no better than you, or Eren, or anyone.
