[There's a pause there. It's a small hope, one that deep down she knows was useless. But couldn't dismiss.]
Didn't we all..? I should have said something when I noticed. [That he'd been crying. But then he'd thrown her off, then the party after... It had been so much unlike the rest of their lives that she thought it'd be alright.]
You noticed ...? [ What Eren was apparently planning, the way his thoughts had shifted. Eren chose the option none of them even thought was an option, and Jean did not expect that he was capable of it. ]
When..? [Time was on odd thing. Because now, it seemed so obvious that they'd missed it. Eren growing quieter, something she'd dismissed as him maturing.] I don't know... Before he left I found him crying.
I didn't notice anything that day. We all had a drink together.
[ There was laughing, shouting and glasses being clinked together. He even remembers getting way too up close and personal with other people than he normally would. It's one of the few times they've had fun on a survey mission. ]
It looked like he was enjoying himself too. [ So suddenly losing Eren came as a surprise to everyone. ]
[It gets a hum. But no elaboration, she wasn't going to mention the conversation they'd had before the old man had interrupted, before the others had come looking.]
Did he..? I remember laughing and hugging Armin... [And maybe an awkward huddle dance with him and Sasha where all parties had been too drunk to do much other than hug and stumble. And sleeping, she remembered curling up next to Eren. But she wasn't the best with booze so most of it was blur.]

I guess it's a good job we can see this place...
