[Ah. Of course. That would be Subaru's wish, the "everyone" as nebulous as ever. Eren is sure he must have had something specific in mind, but still, Subaru is the type who wants to save the world. These two established a long time ago that they're both rotten, but Eren's never truly believed it. He does recognize that "good" and "bad" people exist. He has decided Subaru is one of the "good" ones...]
You'll never stop trying, will you, love?
[He doesn't call anyone else "love" - doesn't call anyone else anything but their name. Subaru affects him in rare ways...]
Sometimes it’s just so hard to get back up. Sometimes I don’t want to. I have to hold everyone’s lives in my hands and nobody understands because nobody knows, no one knows how hard it is to keep going, how heavy it is to carry all of them

I don’t think I knew it at the time, but in some part of me, it included you too.

[Eren's didn't change...]
What wish was that?

Nah. I’m not giving up. No matter how many times I die, I’m still gonna keep getting back up until everyone gets their happy ending!

We guarantee different endings, though.
You've given yourself a terrible burden, Subaru.
no subject
But really, if I’ve got this power, there’s nothing else I’d rather be doing with it.
[It’s a terrible burden for sure, and one only Eren recognises…he feels some comfort in that, even if it’s not conveyed.]

Tell me about it. Subaru.

Since you returned, I've wondered if you've forgotten. You can lay that burden down with me. You don't have to pretend.
Do you remember when you said we were both "lowly trash"?
Whatever happened to you while you were away, we'll always be the same. Not in every way. I don't believe that anymore.
In that way, though, we are. You aren't alone anymore. You don't have to be anything.

…Thanks, Eren. Even if I don’t have anyone else, I know I’ve got you.
we can wrap up oughhh
[As if he gets to decide - which he's decided he does.]
