[ Reiner nods and gingerly takes two pineapple spineapple-flavored cupcakes from the box, careful not to mess up the icing. He sets one in front of Hange, then takes a moment to look at his own, his expression unreadable.
The cupcake is such a small thing. Reiner could devour it in just a few bites. But this gift from Hange means far more than the sum of its parts.
He isn't sure what to feel or think. He doesn't know if this gift comes with hidden strings or expectations, like so many others throughout his life. He expects the worst. He hopes for better. ]
Thank you.
[ It's the third time Reiner has said it. He still means it.
