[He's been proven wrong time and time again, over the past year or so. He hasn't yet given up his resolve. It's a point of view he's had to defend more than once, from familiar and unfamiliar sources, just the same. Jean, on Ajna. You still talk like we're all gonna survive this.

It's a thing that isn't always apparent about them, on the surface. Mikasa's devotion is a clearly demonstrated thing, as obvious and natural to her as anything else, but Eren's frequent impatience with her is just as clear.

Fought off a titan for her before regaining his sense of self in Trost. In a future he has not yet lived, he will face down the titan that killed his mother with his bare hands for her. They're only alive because of each other.)]
