"You're stronger than that," he says. "But it doesn't matter what I feel or how it compares. You can't just compare your own shit to someone else's so you can feel worse."
Eren knows that loop of thought, too, how things aren't as bad for him as someone else so he should feel better. It's an easy trap to fall into.
"Feel your damn feelings," he continues. "If you're that worried about breaking promises to Mikasa, just…all you can do is not do it again. She can forgive a lot."
Even without Jean knowing the future, that must be obvious, right? Eren has needed forgiveness for a lot of stupid shit in his life, though he's aware Mikasa gave him more of a pass than she gave anyone else back then.
