4/4 I LIED

[sugoooi]

Or--well--I mean, not that it's superior...everyone's equal! But it makes like a better person! Niceness...wise. Eheh...

[garganteren]

There's nothing wrong with my heart! It's full of love—for humanity.

[Why does no one here understand that?]

And you're wrong. You just don't understand, because you're a kid, like me, who got powers suddenly. And it's not like you want to be this way. But the other ones—they want to kill us—I mean, humans. They think humans are inferior, animals.

There's going to be a war. Humans against mutants. We're not going to be able to stop it, and I'm not going to let humanity be wiped out.

[Eren KIND OF MISSED THE POINT A LITTLE, sorry Sam.]

[sugoooi]

[ SO DISAPPOINTED, SON. ]

How many mutants have you met that told you they think people're inferior animals?? [ And he doesn't mean like an animal in bed here!! Mind out of the gutter Eren. ]

[garganteren]

[His mind isn't in the gutter, he doesn't have time to think about such things when there's a war on!]

They didn't have to tell me. They showed me with what they did.

[sugoooi]

[ He knows how you young hormonal teenagers get. ]

What did any of the people here do?

[garganteren]

[He's not hormonal at all! Well, he is very angry, but that's different.]

I don't mean them! I don't want to talk about it!

[He doesn't exactly change the subject, but he shifts it.]

I haven't been here that long, and of course they wouldn't say it to my face. But yeah, at our rallies, mutants say all kinds of things to us.

[sugoooi]

R...rallies??? [ Oh my god Eren like that doesn't sound creepy and KKK at all!!!! Sam actually looks totally unsure once that's brought up. He's going to try and believe in his precious new son but wow. ]

[garganteren]

Yeah, I mean, the Friends of Humanity have meetings and participate in protests and things like that.

[He sees Sam looking at him like that.]

It's our constitutional right!

[HE IS NOT YOUR SON!!!]

[sugoooi]

[ ADOPTED SON, WHATEVER. SAM DOESN'T SEE FAMILY THROUGH THAT KIND OF LENS. ]

And you...invite mutants? To hang out and argue with you??

[garganteren]

No. They come, too. And they protest us and yell at us.

Haven't you ever been to a protest?

[This political stuff and training for the COMING WAR is most of what Eren does, so he's not sure about what other teenagers do.]

[sugoooi]

Um...not really. But we had a debate club in school that I went to once? And I've seen highlights and stuff on the news.

[ Facebook and video games. And dating and stuff. He needs to take you to a skate park someday. ]

[garganteren]

Really?

You can't believe what you see on the news. Sometimes they twist the truth try to make us look bad. Like there's a fight that breaks out, and they report that it was all the Friends of Humanity's fault. It's all misleading.

[It's not like he's never played a video game! They have computers. But he doesn't do that a lot. And only certain, approved games are allowed. He hasn't been on facebook or gone on any dates, though. And he hasn't been to a skate park.]

[sugoooi]

[ Sam would introduce him to Plenty of Fish but he got in trouble trying to use that, once....... It was embarrassing for everyone involved. ]

Oh yeah, my mom says the news is mostly just garbage they use to get ratings and stuff! There's probably nice Friends of Humanity and mean ones, just like there's nice mutants and mean ones.

[garganteren]

[Eren would not want to use such a site anyway! He doesn't want to date!]

Your mom's right.

Yeah, I guess that's true.

[He's not going to say that everyone he'd lived with was nice, because he had gotten in arguments there, too.]

But mutants say all kind of bad things about us. And sometimes it's just humans in general they're talking about.

[sugoooi]

[ Everyone wants to date. ]

Well...aren't there a lot of humans who say bad stuff about each other? And mutants too. Neither side always does a perfect job.

[garganteren]

Okay! Nobody's perfect, yeah! How is that an argument against what I said? I wasn't saying everyone's perfect.

[He's really frustrated by all you mutants right now!]

[sugoooi]

I just--I don't know!! You made it sound like humans were better and poor humans and you didn't care what happened to anyone else...

[ PEOPLE. People. Not mutants B( ]

[garganteren]

I didn't say all humans are perfect! I argue with humans all the time. Lots of them are wrong.

[Many people are wrong all over!]

[sugoooi]

But...do you think they're better?

[garganteren]

Uh... yeah.

[It would probably support his argument better if he was deceitful, but Eren is an honest young man.]

[sugoooi]

[ Probably...... ]

...Doesn't that make you the same as the people who think they're better than others? No one's better than anyone else. We're supposed to be equal...'least that's what my parents always say.

[garganteren]

I don't think I'm better, either. I think I'm sick, and I need a cure.

[sugoooi]

What about people with different-coloured eyes?

[garganteren]

Different-colored eyes don't kill people.

[sugoooi]

....Uhh, yeah they do. Or can. Whichever--the point is that the eyes and stuff is genetic too and that's not being sick!
