Chapter 363 Haywired Emotions

"Eren, why do you look… so off?"

Renita asked Eren when they were alone The sun was about to set as they walked aier's question

"Hm? What do you mean?"

Renita looked into Eren's eyes which had a slight shade of blue in thehts She responded after taking her ti stuff in my head Previously, you appeared to be a er than anyone at your level You wanted to advance in your ranking journey more than your peers-- and all of us in White Raven Crew for that matter

But now it looks like… you've lost your way a bit Like you are trying to ask for help from someone who isn't there anymore"

Renita paused then looked ahead to break the intense eye contact in the fear that she et what she was about to say She took a deep breath before continuing:

"Did so else happen in that Besanc mission? I know that you were never that cheerful But it feels like you are especially depressed since you caht?"

'This wo ht to herself He sighed and replied to Renita after a long silence:

"I… I don't kno to best describe what I', Renita It feels like no , my luck finds me in my ditch It beats me up like I'm some lowlife, then leaves me in the same ditch before I have a chance topart about this is that ive in to my despairs It keeps a tiny flame of hope alive in my heart, which in turn, burns me from within

I don't kno else to describe it but so to me than hopelessness Because in hopelessness, a et lost in

No matter how hard I try to stay away from the troubles, they come to me as moths co darkness

I' the hard work, Renita You know that But doing it because you are being ain the rewards you want… while under the Let's say "influence" of so I would ever enjoy

I… I like to be free, Renita You talk about fate, so tell me Do you ever feel the need to be free of yours? Hoould you deal with your fears?"

Eren asked while looking ahead It looked like he was talking to Renita But she kneas ue with her She let hi up:

"Eren, I neither co about nor will I pry because it seems it is difficult for you to open up But I'll say this

You had been looking too far into the future at the cost of ignoring your present Maybe that long-sightedness has and will continue to help you But don't forget what you have today You shouldn't neglect the things you have right now to get the things you want in the future
