["It's okay to have emotions." There was a time when Eren - whether by incapability or lack of concern - wouldn't try to hide his emotions. These days, he'd just as soon have people believe that he doesn't have any at all; once again, hiding them from Aubrey has been an impossibility. How can you hide what you're feeling from someone who can touch you and feel all of it firsthand? The way she yelled his name...

[He can start by keeping his emotions under control for this moment, can't he? He's not so sure...]

There's only one way to deal with that man.

[Eren knows that isn't what she means. Whether Reiner lives or dies, Eren will rot within those feelings forever; maybe even after he's dead. Maybe it would bring about some sort of relief, talking about them. As he considers it, though, all he feels is pain.

[But, now, here, an intriguing sentiment:]

I understand why Reiner did what he did.

[Because he does. He told him as much the last time they met. Reiner Braun and Eren Jaeger are the same...]

But that isn't enough to save him.
