[It's not easy. Two weeks here, a handful of years there - time has been taken, and Eren can't figure out how much, to what level his anger should rise.
[His right fist clenches at his side, unfurls, clenches again.]
Eh...
[He looks away from Maruki, scratching idly at the back of his ear.]
That's hard to tell you. I was...fifteen when I got here, and I died when I was nineteen. That only feels like a little while ago.
