[It seems that Aubrey understands now. Armin wishes she'd say more, that she'd assure her friend that Eren wouldn't hurt her, that this is a misunderstanding, that he isn't a monster, but...
[Well, Armin doesn't like to think of him that way. Right now, he can't afford to. He'll lie to himself as much as anyone about what Eren Is and Isn't.]
That figure you mention is our friend Eren. Whatever happened between you two, we can talk through it here and now.
[It won't be easy to explain the "rotting flesh", but...]
Eren isn't a bad man. [He's not sure he believes it anymore. Mari doesn't need to know the details.] And I don't believe that he said he wanted to hurt Aubrey. He's done everything in his power to protect her while we've been here.
