[ Eren once told him that his future self is a liar. It's something Maruki keeps in mind every time they talk. Not in the way that he's trying to catch Eren out; he trusts that Eren will either be honest with him, or lie by omission with his silence. So it's the silence he pays attention to, more than anything else.

His chest aches with empathy. Having difficult conversations with Eren over text used to be second nature, but now it feels cruel to not be right next to him to help anchor him through it.

I understand. What we say, or don't, is as much of a tool and a weapon as what we do, isn't it?
