[ He gets it. These people on this beach, what cares do they have? Sure, ostensibly everyone here was brought here to save this world. But there's no immediate threat. People aren't dying all around them.
Eren himself is not even a threat to them. Well, not at the moment. He is always a potential threat, isn't he, with his fucked up memories and too much power. But he hasn't done anything even vaguely threatening to anyone who isn't Reiner so it's probably fine.
He has no idea what to do with peace.
Their world will probably never be peaceful. That wasn't exactly Eren's goal, because fuck the whole rest of the world. He has no idea that his death sets him up to be a martyr, that most of the non-Jaegerists got turned into titans and killed, that years after the fact things on the island are shaky.
Would it change his mind? Nothing else has, so who knows.
But he knew there was so little chance of real peace. He hopes for it, days like this one for the people he loves. For himself…it doesn't matter, does it? People like Eren don't deserve peace.
But he has it today anyway, just like all the other things he doesn't deserve.
Maybe he wants to save this world, too, to give them this instead of the literal scorched earth they'll find at the end of the road at home. He's not quite there yet, but he did already say he'd do anything to not go home, which includes saving this world from whatever threat there is. ]
It's good you came.
