"...yeah." A little smile comes to Gabi's face. "We really do."
Sometimes, she really had no idea why Falco cared about her so much, after everything he'd gone through because of her. Pretty much every bad thing that had happened to them on Paradis had been her fault. But Falco had his own share of guilt, for being tricked by Eren, so he thought they were the same, she guessed. The math on that didn't check out even a little bit, but...that was the kind of guy Falco was.
She kinda missed him, now that she thought about it.
Reiner's mention of things escalating gets her back into the present (well, the past, but, a different past) and she knows he's right. They're going to break the wall soon. She doesn't want to be around here for that. If they don't leave, they'll be dragged along with Reiner's perspective and witness it happening. That thought is enough to make her totally ready to walk through the portal with Reiner, but...he stops. She blinks and looks up at him.
"Rei--?"
Then she sees the look on his face. She's seen a lot of different emotions from Reiner in a short stretch of time, from anger to fear to something she thinks is pride, but the look on his face...she can't say she's never seen it before. Most recently, in one of Eren's memories, as he was crushed by his own guilt over what the memory of him is about to do. But she can remember one other time, when the two of them were at their lowest, him injured and stripped of his armor....
"I couldn't stop him. Eren...is going to destroy the world..."
It's not the exact same, but. The horror and pain and the feeling that he, solely, was responsible for preventing it...it's pretty close. It's enough for Gabi to piece together what probably happened here. For a second, she thinks she doesn't have any idea what to do or say to help him, but after a few seconds of awful silence, something occurs to her. She's...actually pretty familiar with this feeling. She gives Reiner's other hand a squeeze, just to remind him that she's there.
"...do you. Think it'd help at all to say anything?" She asks. "Do you have anything you want to say to him?"
For her part, she's thought a lot, a lot about what she would say to Porco if she had a chance. She doesn't want to dump all of it on Reiner right now - how Porco sacrificed himself to save Reiner from Falco, who'd been turned into a titan by Falco, who'd drank Zeke's spinal fluid protecting Gabi. He doesn't need to hear it right now. But when it comes to the Galliard brothers...she thinks she understands a bit about what he's feeling right now.
