Reiner: ok bert if you ask me you dont have to be, just be you, look at me, my dad was garbage and im great

Bertholdt: you are, but my dad left a mark in the military, i just want to make him proud, i just wish i knew how to, i think ill visit him tomorrow

Reiner: hey next time we stay and fight, no running alright?

Bertholdts pov

I cant tell reiner and have him be forced to withhold information, that would put him at risk and i cant to that, although he'd do it anyway still,

The Universe must not want me to fight, annie being on the other side, she can stop me from doing anything, what would my dad say? I wish he were here, dad, can i really be like you?
