[forgivetheinsubordination]

[Garrus shakes his head after Reiner answers, realizing how the boy took his question.]

I mean the conflict. How the conflict between titans and humans started. Not asking for military secrets.

[As much as he's worried for Jean, he can't ask for those. He won't betray the trust placed in him right now.]

Why do you hate yourself, now? You were fighting for your people, by the sounds of it.

[Reiner only shakes his head in turn.] I don't know. I was given my mission and knew I had to complete it. [Even if he knew, he's not sure he can bring himself to talk about it.]

Because I... betrayed them. Everyone. I forgot who I was, what my mission was... I thought I was a human soldier just like the rest of them, not a shifter.

Is my own selfishness justification for getting that many people killed?

[forgivetheinsubordination]

You forgot, or you were made to forget? Because it's sounding like they did something when they sent you in.

[A war so old that nobody remembers the beginning? Is that how entrenched it is? That would make sense for humanity living behind twin walls.]

Is it so wrong to fight for what you believe in?

[panzerung]

[Reiner hesitates.] I forgot. Who wants to live with the knowledge that they killed so many people selfishly?

They were just... people. Not involved. I chose to forget, like a coward, because I couldn't live with the guilt.

[His tone hardens.] The CDC knows I won't hesitate to wipe people out. That's why they recruited me.

[Willful forgetfulness. Garrus hasn't ever heard of that working before. He's quiet for a few moments before he looks over at Reiner.]

You won't? That's why guilt caused you that many problems? You're prepared to kill people selfishly?

[His tone is mild as he brings Reiner's words back around to the young man.]

How'd you get to that point?

[Because it's not a good point to be at.]
