I do try that, but sometimes it's easier said than done. He's had issues with the memories in the past. I do what I can, but who knows how much help it is.
[Because what is giving yourself credit ever??]
I guess I can only hope Eren is never put in a situation like the one he dealt with in the past. His old life sounded really hard. I wouldn't wish it on anyone.
Yeah, I guess so. Though there are times where he doesn't...but we're working on that?
[There's been fights around just that.]
I don't think he had much of one, to be honest. He said his team was made up of "followers and advisors". I can't even imagine describing my team like that.
[ He's here for you, Elliot. As much as he loves Eren, he understands especially after the Palace that... Well. Titan friend is volatile. ]
all you need is a common goal to start a team, but it's still important to have a solid support system. "followers and advisors" doesn't sound like friends to me.
[He won't turn down your offer, even if he's not looking to cash in on it now. It's appreciated Akira, you're a great best friend]
Yeah, or like you're some kind of ruler. Eren sometimes has trouble with just assuming what's best for people instead of thinking of their point of view, and I can't see that being a good team environment for him.
[ He will do his best to support his friends, even if it against other friends. It's all for the best and he knows that. Sometimes Eren just needs a slapping?
This is still a tough thing to talk about since Eren and Akira both agree on methods sometimes, though he knows his friends is more intense in his outlook. ]
sometimes i agree you have to do some bad things for good reasons, but there's always other paths to consider. as long as he hears other voices and opinions, he should be fine, i think.
I hope you're right. I know there's no changing what happened in the past lives, but it's still hard to hear. And makes me worried about what might happen in the future.
yeah, i understand that... i once told someone that i believed Eren wouldn’t eat anyone as a joke. of course i don’t think he would, but now i have to reconsider.
i remember when Goro told me he garnered a lot of murderous intent in August towards the person that abandoned him to fend for himself. he went on to say that he was fretting because it showed him how similar he was to Akechi.
some battles they will need to fight on their own. we just have to be there for them when we can. i know it’s not a lot of consolation.

it's all matter of opinion, but i believe they don't have to be. some of us are the complete opposites of who we remember.

maybe you should keep his mind off of his memories. it's easy to forget who you really are.

[ That is if Eren is still their Eren... Akira wants to believe that, but he also hopes that Elliot sees that he has a lot of influence here. ]
yeah, or that we're there with him when it happens. i wonder what kind of support system he had in his memories sometimes.

sorry for being depressing.

I wish there was more we could do, but...you're probably right. We can just be there for them.
