[ Mikasa's little friend slash family group may have had a happy ending that day, but they had still been forced to fight their former friends they had shared roof and bread with for three years. That couldn't have been easy. And then, so many of them had died.

Looks like they both struggle putting feelings into words, even though he has no doubt Mikasa feels them just as intensely as he does -- he's seen her fight, after all, and someone without emotions would not manage it like they do -- almost humorously, he wonders if that's too a part of their blood, as distant as their relation is. Luckily, because they're similar in that regard... he understands what has been left unsaid, and he's grateful for what was. He thinks it's the first time Mikasa has ever said that to him about what happened back there. ] ...Thanks.
