"So, this is really it then?"
It was something Jean wasn't sure he could accept. The pounding in his chest, the ringing in his ears, the dizziness of his aching head— nothing compared to the way he felt now, hearing the words he never imagined that he would hear, come from your lips. The six foot two giant of a man felt so small in this instance, crushed underneath the weight of your heavy-hearted sentence that single handedly shattered whatever was left of his broken heart.
You didn't want to hurt him anymore. Sure, it would be easy for you to continue telling him what he wanted to hear— to allow yourself to try and make things work with Jean. Maybe you would learn to love him again as you did before, but the thought of having to cut Eren out of your life... it just wasn't something you would be able to do, and you'd be lying to yourself if you said otherwise.
You do care about Jean, despite the things you've put him through; despite the things he's put you through. You want to see him flourish, and as much as it hurts, he just can't do that with you— not while he's still clinging to the hope of a future with you in it.
