[ eren takes the sympathy with serenity. no sadness in his eyes, no grief, just a small head dip in acknowledgement— he grieved so long ago already, and it wasn’t as if grisha was gone. no, we got some lion king bs going on where he lives in eren!

in his memories, memoryception, and in his belly. ]

He was a good man and a good father. [ since he was small— eren remembers him always present, even if he worked and traveled left and right. he was loved and he knew it. there was just a story in the way that they had to finish. ] Made mistakes, learned from them, [ as anyone, his gesture conveys, ] he never looked away from what he had to do, but he never forgot about who mattered to him.

If there’s anyone I respect, it’s him.

[ there’s a part of eren that wishes they could live another life that isn’t plagued with duty, but. duty calls. ]
