@erwn said: " i forgive you. "
from here.
‘ why ?? ’
here , at the end of the world , he feels so ashamed to be looking erwin in the eyes. at one time , he had truly looked up to him , believed in him with all his heart. here , now , if there was anyone he hadn’t wanted to see this side of him , it was the commander. so many people had died because of him , he carried their memories , their hearts , their pain like stones on his back.
‘ i got people killed. i killed people, how- ’
he breaks off , one hand pushing the loose strands of hair from his face. how could erwin , how could anyone look at him & see anything worth forgiving ?? that was the whole point , to make himself the enemy , to unite everyone through their hatred of him , to turn his former allies against him so they have no choice but to deem him unforgivable , a monster , to sentence him to death .
one hand pressed to his temple , eren breathes out a sharp sigh . he had never truly understood erwin before , why did he believe he might now ?? he closes his eyes for a moment , shaking his head. this was the end of it all , why did he care about this now ??
‘ doesn’t matter, what’s done is done, isn’t it ?? ’
he didn’t need anyone’s forgiveness , he didn’t want it. but maybe , of all the people , erwin understood him , on some level.
it takes a devil to know a devil , he supposes.
