you're overreacting. we can't even leave the city.
[How far into "unknown territory" does she think he's going to get without warning? He's not stupid or irresponsible enough to try to make it through the woods or across the water alone and unannounced. The city isn't that big. It'll start feeling suffocatingly small sooner rather than later.
And if she's expecting him to fold because she played the Dead Mom card, she's got another thing coming. Eren loved his mother, very bitterly regrets that the last thing he'd done before she died was argue with her. That doesn't mean he's going to let Mikasa use her as an excuse for weird lifelong promises of loyalty and devotion. He doesn't want that, either. (He didn't save her life when they met so she could dedicate it to him.)
So he very deliberately does not address it, save to grind his teeth and remind her—]
I told you to cut that out. I'm not your kid brother or your responsibility. worry about what's going on around here instead.
[the sooner they figure it out, the sooner they can put a stop to it. the sooner they can—theoretically—get back home to their own war.]
