Take all the time that you need. It's a strange thing, to say the least...
[ To say the very least.
Maruki knows that Eren is fated to die when he returns to his reality. Clearly, Armin has lived beyond that point. Up until just today, this strange dreamtime, he only knew their friendship from Eren's side, but what little has been revealed so far from Armin is enough. A palpable, eternal grief. He understands.
And it isn't fair, that in one reality Eren is very much alive, no matter how much he hates that fact, and that it isn't the one that Armin inhabits. It's not fair at all.
After a decent stretch of silence, he speaks. ]
If you have any questions for me, I'll answer honestly... and if you don't, I can tell you some things that I think might help to hear. [ Well, help and hurt – that's the nature of grief. ] But if it's too much for the moment, you don't have to listen to me or say anything at all.
