It was pretty dicey for a while due to this and that, but eventually I got him to come around.
[ flat sounds genuinely pleased about this, but there's something not all that unlike the cat that got the canary. considering that his relationship with that person had only started because he was meant to kill flat... the place where they're at now is nothing short of a great success.
but that's not eren's story to hear, so he'll pivot the conversation again. ]
So, are you totally friendless or do you consider the people you're close to with a different term?
You're talking to a dead guy too, you know! And I think I have enough energy to continue trying to befriend people! Maybe your skill needs some optimizing?
’I decided a while ago I didn't want to make any more. I'm dead and it's tiring.’
[ flat parrots eren’s telepathic message back right at him— with a mental voice that is exactly like eren’s had been at that moment; same cadence and tone. ]
I mean, if you wanna say that you’re tired of making friends, then just say it with your chest. You’re DONE with friendship! You’ve hit your max quota, prospective applicants may exit stage left, do not pass go and do not collect 200.
Don’t blame it on being dead, though. That’s a silly thing to do!
Because as far as I know, right now your heart is beating and pumping blood into your brain and each of your limbs. You might be dead in your world, but you’re alive in this one, whether you like it or not.
[ and flat truly does wonder: does his dear teammate like it or not? ]

I could say that's because I barely know you, but you've already pegged me as a misanthrope, right?
[The tone is close to condescending, but Eren isn't offended.]

Ha...
[Just that. Not quite a laugh, not quite not. It's a dry, bitter amusement.]
You're right about that too.
A lot of people probably take you for an idiot, don't they?
no subject
Yeah, they do all the time!
