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.]

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!

[garganteren]

There's nothing you can do to change my mind. It's been seven years, and they haven't caught them! They've had enough time. I'm the only one who cares enough, so I'm the only one who can do it.

That's not true about humanity, Sam. I love them, but... they can kill for other reasons. And I'm not a human, remember?

[sugoooi]

You're human to me, Eren...and you're my friend. But I'm worried about you too okay?? Normal kids don't say stuff like this and it's freaky.

[garganteren]

I've never been normal. I know that. That's just the way I am. But when I promise to do something, I do it, no matter what.

You shouldn't worry about me.

[sugoooi]

That's impossible... I worry about you all the time.

[garganteren]

Sam! I told you not to!

I don't get it...

[sugoooi]

Well I'm sorry... But I care! A whole lot okay??

[garganteren]

You'd be better off not caring about me.

[sugoooi]

You're not allowed to protect me if I'm not allowed to care.
