The extra assurance and not being told to get out of Bertholdt's sight helps to steady Jean's emotions a little, turning the rain into just dark clouds hanging around. There are so many emotions going on in his head even the emotional magic isn't sure how to react, so dark cloud it is.
If this wasn't just an illusion made by the metaverse, he was glad for Reiner that Bertholdt was finally here. If he was just an illusion, it would just mean more hurt or the guy. In which case, it would just be better if Reiner never saw Bertholdt here.
But if he was actually here and Armin was sent back home, that was just cruel. In a way, it made sense. There couldn't be two Colossal titans running around back home (haha ha--). But there were so many situations they could co-exist in, since time was weird anyway.
He thinks back to why Armin had the Colossal in the first place. Of all the shit they were put through thanks to the Warriors invading Paradis. But that wasn't really their fault. As Galliard and Marco would put it, it was Marley that sent them. So they should get all the blame.
But that didn't mean he forgave them for breaking down Wall Maria. Or for attacking Trost. Or for the battle of Shiganshina. He could move past it, but couldn't forgive or forget. That's what he had been saying.
He especially couldn't forgive them about Marco.
There's actual warm flames around Jean's hand (that has formed into a fist while he traveled deep into his thoughts) for a bit. It's hard to say if it's his seasonal magic or something from Empatheias.
If he punched Reiner about it, he should just punch Bertholdt, too. Annie he hadn't, but that was more because he was afraid of her. He wasn't afraid or Reiner or Bert.
So, instead of saying anything, Jean aims a punch at Bertholdt's face. Much easier now that they were almost the same size. Sure, he just told him about the non-aggression pact, but this wasn't a murder attempt, just a honest, frustrated, punch.
