[ Eren reaches for him, finally, finally, but what can Maruki do for him?

He takes Eren's hand clutched into his sleeve, drags it away to hold it between both of his own as he looks into those desperate, pleading eyes.

I can't change anything, Eren. [ There's such remorse in the truth of those words. ] But I want you to promise me something. Can you do that?

UGLY WUGLY

[Eren's hand is taken. On some instinct, he bring his other up to join it. He looks past lenses into the man's dark eyes as he says, "I can't change anything, Eren."

[Suddenly, it feels like that grip is the only thing holding Eren up. He thinks he could cry, feels tears in his eyes.]

But...you said...

[Eren closes his eyes tight, has to turn his face away. The man doesn't let go of his hands. They tense and flex beneath his touch.]

What is it? Just tell me...

[ Eren looks away, but he holds on. That's what matters. He isn't truly turning away from Maruki. He's listening. His grip is tight, even if his voice is miserable, and Maruki knows this is only the beginning of how difficult his coming years will be.

So his plea is a simple one, and profoundly desperate.

When you feel like you're entirely alone... When you're certain that you've turned everyone against you, and you're undeserving of their love...

[ Maruki's hands grip tight, tight. ]

Remember me. Even if the memory is faint. Remember that I'm with you. I'm always with you.
