[ Getting people out of Liberio… Reiner can take a few guesses why they had to flee. He witnessed the beginning of an attack on their hometown. Saw Eren transform, rising up through an apartment full of civilians while Reiner tried to protect Falco. Saw so many other things that he barely understood, Eren guiding him through that future he hasn't lived. So many awful things…

"It's different once you've seen their faces," Reiner had said. "Isn't it, Eren?"

He and Eren were still the same, in the end.

Reiner takes a sip of his drink, the fruitiness concealing most of the alcohol. A dangerous combination if not consumed in moderation. ]

I'm glad he made it out.

[ Whatever shitty flaws Annie's father might have, it's better that he survived. Better for Annie, if nothing else. Reiner remembers well how desperately she'd wanted to return. ]

… Eren showed me a lot of the future, using the Paths. But the way it worked was … confusing. And there were things Eren didn't share, or maybe didn't know. Your father, my mom…

[ Falco having the Jaw. Porco's death. Bertholdt's death. Reiner knows that Eren didn't want to hurt him with the last. Was it the same for Porco? ]

So if it ever seems like I've got a half-completed puzzle, that's why.
