[She lets him pull her close. It’s strange; Eren’s voice is weak and grieving, and Aubrey just feels… numb. Reliving it all like that… the (figurative) door enclosing Basil’s (very real) corpse is wide open now. Even if the world threw her back this instant, that’s a nightmare she’ll never wake up from, anywhere.
[This, for eighty percent? She’d drop dead from the goddamn shock.]
[Of coure Eren understands. Sure, there’s searing betrayal—get away. Get away. Get away. You betrayed me. Don’t fucking touch me—but in the end, that’s not what he wanted at all, was it? He laughed with Reiner, under the tree. He’s waiting for Armin, now. Doesn’t matter how much they shoved each other around before.
[They can regroup. Apologize. Commiserate. Find peace.
[Aubrey’s happy for him.]
Some atonement this is, huh…?
[Slumped on Eren like this, she sounds like she could sleep for a thousand years.]
