Eren yells a lot and no one is surprised (filtered from Rose)

What the shit was that!? I know we end up in overlays that have a lot in common with us, but that was too close! The asshole that double-crossed my overlay and his band-mates was too much like that backstabbing bastard Reiner! The people he ran off with were just like the other two traitors we had to deal with back at the Walls too!

And why was our band named Basement Dilemma!? Basement Dilemma! Is what my old man did going to start messing with me even when I'm Infiltrating now!?

Has anyone had an overlay's life be that close to their own before!? That was exactly the life I probably would've had if I was born into a normal world instead of that Titan-infested hellhole of a cage!

I've had something like that with my best vampire friend. There was something between us that never went anywhere in real life, but it did go somewhere in three separate Infiltrations.

I very nearly married him in my own life. BUt I realized I couldn't live with that much secrecy.

With Derek, I'd only known him less than two months at that point--and I was kind of stuck on the guy who'd turned me into a vampire. But after I died... he was one of the great what-ifs of my life, you know.

I guess just like your guy. He was non-magical, huh?

[haveabiscuit]

He was. I was working for the Ministry of Magic and I finally realized that if I went on with the wedding... I wouldn't even be able to tell him how my day was.

[What kind of marriage is that?]

I never stopped loving him though. I couldn't bring myself to marry anyone else as long as he lived.

You guys can't even get dispensations for your spouses? Dude, that's harsh.

[But then, the Masquerade's just as bad, what with having to ghoul people if you want or need them to know.]

... I guess you outlived him, huh?

[Considering the tenses there.]

[haveabiscuit]

Not without a magical child.

[That's a little harder to hide]

It's been a long time now.

[She's outlived a lot of people]
