First of all - don't ask.

[It's pretty clear what he's referring to. He is currently dressed in an absolutely horrendous sweater, which he keeps scratching at in annoyance. Making bets with a certain saucy language arts teacher is not recommended.]

Second, for god's sake don't listen to that Yeager kid. I'm sure most of you are smart enough to realize it, but it looks like he's under the impression that it's a "violation of his rights" to learn to keep his powers under control. Seeing as skipping classes wastes time and makes it that much harder for us to teach you how to survive once you get out of here... you see where I'm going with this. I figure if you ignore him long enough, though, he'll get the hint that he's doing more bad than good.

[And then he suddenly brightens up, with that smug grin he only has when he's making someone's life hell.]

Third, if you've got some spare time on your hands, the security club should still be taking members. Come on down, keep Officer Adachi company and bust some trouble-makers or something. Maybe you can just get someone you hate in trouble.

[Bigby, don't give them ideas. They'll take it seriously.]

oh right I SHOULD SAY video/private.....like a million tags ago

[sugoooi]

I'm not believe the worst! I think that deep down you're a good kid and a nice person no matter what anyone else says!! That's why we're still friends even when you say stuff I don't agree with! You care about people and helping them out, like orphans and sick people--and that's really amazing and makes you an awesome person! [ And he MEANS THAT. ]

But you also just...say some really scary stuff, sometimes. And I dunno what to do about that.

OH YES, private, right

[garganteren]

I still never said we were friends.

[So there! Well, he kind of did, but not to Sam's face. Also, don't listen to him, because he argues with his friends all the time, that is just his way.]

Of course I care about people, why wouldn't I? I care about them more than anything else! But—

There are some people I have to get rid of. I promised I would. If that makes me scary, then I'm scary. Fine.

HERPADERP.

[sugoooi]

[ EREN IMPLIED IT and Sam has been going forth with that assumption since the 'another' incident. So there. ]

Then if you want to do that, you should do it properly! Don't just run around picking fights with people and doing whatever you want...that's just like the people you don't like do. They take matters into their own hands without the police or a judge or a jury or anything.

Heroes are a symbol of hope for people. They're not supposed to be scary.

[garganteren]

I'm not picking fights with people, they're picking fights with me. He's the one who mentioned me, then insulted me when I tried to talk to him. And then he mocked me! If someone talks like that, I'll stand up to them. I'm not going to let murderers do and say what they want. Even if he thinks I'm just a joke.

I'm not trying to be a hero. I'm going to find them and I'm going to kill them, all by myself.

[sugoooi]

Doing something like that just makes you a murderer too....!

[garganteren]

Then I'll be a murderer! I won't let them get away with it!

[sugoooi]

You're not supposed to sink to their level Eren...! Then you're no better than anyone else who kills another person. It's not right!

[garganteren]

I made a promise, and I'm going to keep it. I already killed people! So I guess I'm already a murderer!

[He thinks he killed people, anyway. That's enough for him to feel guilty about it!]

[sugoooi]

You what...?

[garganteren]

I told you, I'm a killer! So you can go on and think I'm scary!

[sugoooi]

[ WELL...HE PROBABLY WILL. Sam honestly doesn't know what to say to that--he didn't think Eren was someone actually capable of hurting another person...not like that. He's never met anyone who thinks they're really killed someone. ]

[garganteren]

[HE KNEW IT, no one could accept him when he's what he is now!]

See? I'm a monster. That's why I shouldn't be here.

[sugoooi]

You...never--you never said you killed anyone before...

[garganteren]

I don't remember it! But I probably did! I must have...

[He should be put away where he can't hurt anyone... It isn't fair, when all he wanted to do was help humanity.]

[sugoooi]

...What are you talking about? [ Eren, there is a difference between being SURE of something and having a lot of conviction, and being pretty sure you have done something and having a lot of conviction for that. ]

[garganteren]

I told you already, Sam!

[HE'S VERY SURE HE PROBABLY DID SOMETHING VERY BAD. That is enough for him to have boatloads of certainty.]

I don't remember it, because suddenly everything changed and I couldn't think anymore—but when I woke up, I was in the basement. Everyone was upset, and they wouldn't tell me what had happened. But I could see out the basement window, and there were buildings that were broken, and some people... I didn't see them again after that. So... I don't know...

[sugoooi]

You mean--when you transformed?? [ Not while as himself, normally??]

[garganteren]

Yeah—that's how it happened. When I got really mad... I don't remember what I was so mad about...

[He doesn't try very hard to remember.]

But I told you, I'm a danger to everyone! That's why.

[sugoooi]

Eren.....!! [ Sam practically yells, but there's a loud whoosh of air later--a sigh of relief. ]

You scared me--! Don't just say stuff like that out of the blue! I thought you meant you really just...decided to--and did! [ Murder someone. His powers going out of control doesn't count as far as Sam sees. The same intent can't be behind there, not when Eren's explained it's like he's not himself and has no power over what he does. ]

[garganteren]

What do you mean, Sam? I did it! It was me, it wasn't anyone else! I have to take full responsibility!

[People don't get a free pass because they're mutants!]

Once I—know what I did.

[sugoooi]

But you said it yourself, you can't control your powers... And you don't remember what happened either right? You can't just go around claiming you killed people. It isn't your fault--remember? You didn't choose to be a mutant. And you didn't choose to kill anyone...you said so yourself, you can't think when it happens.

[garganteren]

If I took a life, then it's murder. I'm not like that other guy. I'm not going to say I couldn't help myself, or I was a monster. It was my fault. If not for me, they'd still be alive. It doesn't matter if I chose it or not! And if... I did it, it's even worse, because I knew them. They didn't deserve to die.

[He's not even exactly sure who, if anyone, he might have killed. The people he didn't see again could have been staying away in fear. But he can't help but believe the worst.]

But I am going to kill those other people! As a human!

[Just so you're clear on that.]

[sugoooi]

No. [ let him stop you right there. ]

You believe in humanity right?

[garganteren]

I do.

You don't understand, Sam. This is something I have to do.

[sugoooi]

No! Look--you believe in humanity right? So trust them to do their jobs! Which is catching bad guys. Humanity only kills people if they're sentenced to it, or in self-defence.

If you wanna help them...help them catch the bad guys. Don't become one of the ones they have to fight too!
