It surprises him how much that answer seems to affect her. Then again, of course someone like Aubrey would hate the idea of going numb. People used to look at Eren and see nothing but raw passion; Aubrey isn't quite like that, but her spark is still very much there.
[Kindness. Compassion. Eren would still call them useless.
[Still, if that's what keeps Aubrey..."alive", so to speak, then...he doesn't want them to go away. Sometimes he sits and thinks about how he must have broken her beyond repair. It's a memory thick with regret.]
That isn't what I want for you.
[In case that needs to be made clear; it probably does. Of course it does. He's only given the impression of the opposite so far, hasn't he?]
