The silence stretched between them after Eren finished concealing the guards' bodies, heavy with unspoken words and the weight of what had just transpired. Rose stood by the window, her silver hair catching the moonlight that filtered through the crystalline glass. Her posture remained rigid, controlled, but Eren noticed something different in the way she held herself - a subtle tremor in her hands that she tried to hide.
"You're troubled by what I did," Rose said without turning around, her voice carrying that same cold edge from before. "I can sense your disapproval radiating from you like heat from a forge."
Eren moved closer, studying her profile in the pale light. "I'm trying to understand you, Rose. One moment you're helping me, guiding me through this nightmare, and the next..." He gestured toward where the bodies had disappeared. "You kill two people without hesitation."
