[ Thorfinn isn't sure what he believes. He hasn't heard of anyone disappearing and coming back years later, so…in a way, that lends credence to what Maruki had said then and Eren says now.

But if he could choose to be here, why can't they all choose to leave?

Thorfinn doesn't entirely want to leave, but that's not really the point. He has to go home and finish what he started, even though the taste of revenge is no longer a good one. ]

There's a lot lots of people don't know.

[ He's a little defensive, but he doesn't seek out information the way some people do. He doesn't care about all of that. That's for smart people. He knows he's not all that smart, but it doesn't matter. He's a capable warrior, and what else would there ever be? ]

But I believe you. I guess. That you won't leave unless you want to. Tell me before you do.

[ He would never ask Eren to stay, even if he wants to. He can't go that far. But he can at least ask for a damn warning. ]
