[Ah. Eldians in Marley join the military at six years old; Warrior candidates are turned into monsters the same way Eren was. When he was younger, he would have told anyone that fighting was his choice. He knows better now. He's seen the way the world cannibalizes its children. He doesn't resent it for himself, but, despite how Eren feels, thinks, what he will do, he is ever the contradiction. The world is a terrible place, but the people in it are all just people.
[It's not enough to save them, but Eren doesn't hate an eight year old girl who was made a human experiment. Of course he doesn't. Bethan was innocent. It's a terrible tragedy - an unforgivable sin. He gets it.]
I'm sorry. [He really means that.] I resent that that happened to you.
[She bites down on her hand; his jerks violently on his wrist. He doesn't seem to notice.]
