[ Marco knows Jean was there when Bertholdt died, so he pauses for a moment, and then sighs softly. He hasn't spoken to Bertholdt since he arrived; less out of avoidance on his end and more because he just hasn't seen the other boy, by his own design. Still, he was always closer to him of the trio of Titan shifters. ]

[ He sounds confident, but he knows how much Reiner adores Bertholdt. He can only hope that Bert is here works in Jean's favor. ]

You needed it, didn't you? [ He reminds Jean with a small smile, sad. ]
