u know in your heart... (oopsie!)

[ A lot of people probably get unsettled, or at least surprised, witnessing Armin get steely or say something unhinged. Mikasa knows what he's capable of, though. She thinks it a good thing. One can not make it in this world with no defenses at all. ]

[ Eren. He says the name and of course it hurts. There's an immediate shift to Mikasa's posture, not quite a flinch but it's as if she withdraws into herself a little more, a sad look on her face as she tugs her scarf a little higher with her free hand, as if trying to hide from the world. ]

[ She knows it was a mercy then, but that does not change how much she misses him. ]

[ And yet, if anyone can share her feelings, if anyone can understand, it has to be Armin, right? If anyone has loved Eren just as much, it has to be him. ]


Yes. [ Her voice is quiet. ] He... showed me a peaceful life.

[ Something she always wanted. Something she now knows he could not have lived, and yet he'd given it to her anyway, whatever amount he could manage. ]
