Chapter Text
Reiner had no concept of time when he woke up. Still tucked up against the door, his joints screamed as he slowly unfolded himself. For a good while, he sat, back against the door, legs stretched out in front of him, and stared into thin air. His head was empty, and for once, he found a little comfort in it, too exhausted to want any thoughts to ruin the brief moment of peace. But much to his disappointment, it didn’t last long. Jean’s words, Eren’s actions, and the remains of his breakdown slowly stirred the calm surface, refusing to leave him alone. With a deep sigh, he got to his feet and his bladder chose that moment to remind him of its existence, adding to the building stress in his body. At least, going to the toilet was an automated task, one that didn’t require much thought because thinking was the last thing he was capable of at that moment.
