[ Regardless of whatever he is or was or could be — what he will be at the end of the world — Eren is still Eren here and now. He has always been a monster, whether Hijikata knew it or not, but he's actually better now than when he met.

It's only the future that never changes, though isn't that his past now that he's outlived it? Well, that's confusing! But so is his head all the time. ]

Abilities? Um…I can create a door. It lets me go through a wall, but it's not permanent, I think.

[ He hasn't tested these a lot, because he's just the kind of person who gets a new ability and runs into battle with it, then tests it later. He works well(???) under duress. ]

The other thing, what did they call it? Retro something.

[ Unfortunately he's also the kind of person whose attention span is questionable. It's not that he wasn't listening, it's just that so much is going on in and around his mind all the time. ]

Anyway, it lets me see what happened to something before. If I touch it. Just things, though, not people.

[ It does feel normal, though of course Eren isn't so dense as to realise that things between them aren't the same. How can anything between him and anyone be the same? Jean and Mikasa didn't see any of it. They'll never know. Things are only different between them in Eren's view. At least things aren't fucked up and broken between them.

Things aren't actually fucked up and broken between him and any of the others, either, no more than they already were. Reiner understands him better now, and the ring on his finger proves that Reiner doesn't hate him. Armin still loves him.

Levi decided to keep trusting him, though he wasn't sure at first. It's enough.

He tilts his head. ]

Did you get one?
