A calamity that threatened every universe? Reiner blinks, the thought that Jean might've helped save their universe occurring to him. Is that how this stuff works? It adds another complicated layer to the disparate timeline puzzle—and honestly, Reiner doesn't really have the head for it. He's smart but not 'untangling the multiverse' smart.

So, for now, he lets the thought go, focusing on the rest of what Jean says. Feeling a chill that has nothing to do with the sickness plaguing him, the idea of being stripped of his Titan abhorrent.

"Yeah," he agrees. "I doubt either of us would like that."

An understatement. Reiner hid what he was for five years; however, he never lost that power. He always had it in his veins, transformation just a sliced palm away.

"Speaking of Eren, have you checked on him lately?"

Much as Reiner is enjoying the heat of Jean's hug, he knows how cold Eren is. And while he and Eren were able to warm each other a bit, it was nothing compared to the warmth Jean brings.
