[No point in waiting here for her here, then. In the emotional shellshock that had come with the announcement, he'd forgotten all about Mikasa's evaluation. It explains why she isn't around, why she hasn't come through the door before he even thought to expect her, materialized at his side before he even knew he (needed her) was looking for her.
Sitting on his hands is the last thing he wants to do right now. The hell of it is, the people responsible for all this are so far out of his reach, he may as well be powerless. And he hates it so much, he's sick with it. The iron taste of it rises at the back of his throat, pools in the bottom of his chest.

[And that's...it. But anyone seeking out the viewing area near the VR rooms, will find Eren folded into a tense ball on one of the spectator benches. Elbows resting against his bent knees, shoulders stiff and jaw squared. Still holding the blackglass white-knuckled in one hand, while the other is fisted frustrated in his hair. There are surely other spectators around waiting for the show to start, but either they're not the friendly sorts or Eren is just giving off enough warning signs to keep them from approaching.
It's probably the latter.
He's not paying anyone around him much mind, though. Attention fixed on the monitors, as if waiting for Mikasa to make her appearance. Nothing, yet.]
