[After he's done with the network, Jean really finds a corner of the room to sink into. Mikasa's out with the dogs, giving them a walk, leaving Jean alone in the apartment with their cat, Sakura who is... unsure what to do, but she settles down near him anyway.
Jean doesn't really pay attention to her. Or to anything. Instead he raises his hands up to his ears and covers them. It doesn't really do anything, but it comforts him to some level.
As if he could block the memories from his head. Of the day in Trost, when he first saw titans and saw them kill the comrades he trained with. Of all the deaths he'd seen back home. As if he could block the feeling that he was useless in being able to prevent yet another death. Even if this was the first one he had seen in years, he still felt the memories creep into his mind.
This world was different from both Empatheias and Avalon. Was he going to experience this feeling more often again? Was he going to lose people he cared about? Would he be made to make decision that might lead to some people he's responsible to die?
Mikasa ♥ hurt/comfort: cw for death talk, titan world things
