The air in the room was quiet and tense, almost suffocating. You were distraught, so many thoughts running through your head as you tried to make sense of what just happened.

You said nothing as you walked past Eren, you made sure to keep your distance in case he tried anything. You inhaled deeply, finding the strength to finally look him in the eyes. The anger was boiling, but you had to keep your cool. 

"Why?" you asked. You genuinely wanted to know. He had no reason to insult and push them away like that. 

After everything you all have been through. After you all have stuck by him till now? Why? Why would he do this?

There must be a reason...there has to be a reason!

"Why are you doing all of this?" You tried to choke back a sob. 

"..." Eren could only stare at you with the same emotionless expression. 

"....He's not serious...(¬_¬)"

 He's clearly hiding something. Of course he doesn't want to tell you. Then what was the point of being here?

"If you're not going to talk, then why even keep me here?" you asked. You noticed the blood dripping from his ear. You grimaced. You were in the heat of the moment and forgot you actually shot a bullet at him. 

"If you want an apology out of me for shooting you, fat chance, you're not getting one. I don't care if you're my friend or not. You were hurting Mikasa and Armin. After everything we've done for you, that was how you were going to treat them. Yeah, I wasn't going to sit by and let you do that. But because you are my friend, because I still care about you. You're alive because I allow it."

"...you're a joke." he finally says. You were almost physically taken aback by this.

"...what?" you asked. 

"You're making it out like I'm such a Monster, but you're not different from me. Monster of Marley." your expression darkened when he said that.

You were immune to people calling you that but hearing that from him just touched a nerve.

"What did you just call me?" you asked with an edge in your voice.

"Why did you decide to become a chronicler? Writing about your life and how you gave up everything to fight alongside your people will make you look like a saint? Some kind of hero? It's pathetic. You're fooling yourself to even think that writing down our history will make you any less guilty about your past." he continued.

"You're not a hero. You're a coward who couldn't face her own demons, hiding behind a pen and paper. It took you almost six years to come clean about everything. Why? Because you couldn't live with the burden of your sins and decided to fake your identity to redeem yourself? You're no better than me." he grimaced at you as you continued to stare at him in horror, his words cutting you deep.
