[Rean really never needs to know about That secret. He'd probably expire on the spot.
A sigh as he collects himself as well.]
Well... bad news is, I don't have a definitive answer for you. I'm not sure my other self quite knew what it was, either.
I remembered the first time it took over – took my other self over – right when Elliot brought us out of it. I was nine, and my past self's sister – Elise – and I got ambushed by this bear-like monster. I tried to protect her, and it nearly took me out. When I realized how much danger she'd be in if I did, I just...
blacked out.
When I came to, I'd ripped the thing to pieces. There was blood all over the snow, all over the little hatchet I'd brought to cut through branches, and all over me. Elise was crying, and it was because she was afraid of me, not the monster.
[He can't look her in the eye as he recounts all that. He manages to keep his tone more or less even, but Raina knows him better than anyone – she'll be able to pick up the way his voice just slightly wavers, how he's fidgeting, how his brows are knitting together.
He's scared.]
...The good news is that I've been meeting up with Eren. He's trying to help me learn to control it, so that what happened last time doesn't happen again.
