Don't all go stuffin' your damn faces all at once. Not now and not when the jaunt's actually over, either. Two weeks in starvation mode's plenty of time to get used to it - you'll just throw it all back up.

[Shinji wishes he wasn't speaking from experience.]

Got some soup on.

Fair. [So maybe he overthought it. Whatever.]

What kinda bullshit was your world pulling to come up with that?

[That in no way means Shinji thinks it's Eren's fault he got mixed up in it. Having seen where that kind of experimentation can end up himself - and knowing how lucky he was not to've been snapped up for the Strega project - he knows better.]

Fuck if I know. We only have records going back 100 years, and half of that's probably made up by the government anyway. The royal family's Titan had the power to alter peoples' memories. Four months before I ended up in Liminal Space we didn't even know Titans were humans.

Assholes.

At least we've been reclaiming what's been taken from us. The old government isn't in power anymore. The current queen is a good friend, and it's really the military running things behind the scenes.

[fruitknife]

Good. Hope it works.

[Mitsuru's family has a lot of clout, but never ruling authority. Given how awful her grandfather turned out to be, that's a good thing.]

I hope so too. We came a long way in those four months, but we still have a long way to go. The place we all thought would hold the answers ended up being a ruin, and I don't know what we're going to do now.

[fruitknife]

Probably gonna have to make your own answers.

[bite_the_hand]

Yeah. I'm just glad I have people to help me make them. Armin and Mx. Hange are better at figuring things out than I'll ever be.

[fruitknife]

Sounds fucking exhausting, honestly.

[Which doesn't mean it sounds not worth doing. It just means Shinji's glad he doesn't have to.]
