“Eren took off first, Mikasa stayed behind him, and I was dead last.” Eren died first, Mikasa buried beside him, Armin kept visiting their graves as an old man until he joined them

Therapist: I must commend you both for coming in together. It’s not often I see couples trying to work through trauma together.

Rei: Couple?

Kazuki: What?

Therapist: Don’t worry. This is a safe space for people of all sexualities-

Kazuki: No, it’s just we’re not a couple.

Therapist: Oh, I’m sorry. I just thought-

Kazuki: I mean, so what if we’re raising a child together, share a bed, wear each other's clothes, cuddle together, say I love you and kiss each other hello and goodbye?

Therapist: …

Kazuki: *Smug* Exactly. Must feel stupid, huh?

Mommmmm. The girls are fighting.

Okay but real talk.

It's so important that Rei is the one who says this to Kazuki.

Rei who has never asked for anything, both from the people around him and from life in general. Rei who is always shown to be swept along by Kazuki's wave. Rei who has never felt he had a place in normal society, who was content to not change simply because he had known nothing. else.

But this time, he has found happiness and he wants to keep it, he's not asking vague questions like the first time or just accepting it like the second. This time he's saying plainly what he wants, he wants to prove to Kazuki that they are capable of change.

this made me cry my eyes out. kazuki being understanding of rei and knowing that rei cheered as loud as he could meant so much to me. kazuki understands rei and his limits, and also at the same time he's also praising him for doing his best. it's amazing.
