[On a normal day, Mikasa would have been on him for getting to that point, but today she had no idea. She didn't really pay much mind to it until she saw him again. She hadn't exactly went looking for anyone, after all. She didn't want to deal with anyone.... She wouldn't stop them if they came to her, but she wasn't really all that keen on seeking anyone out herself right now.
She was about to call his name out upon seeing him, but was silenced with the hug. She just closed her mouth and set her head on his shoulder as she returned a tight hug. It was obvious he must have known already...
It was hard... She was so used to detaching herself from the big picture and the others around her unless they were Armin or Eren. It was easier to keep moving forward when she didn't have to cry at every loss that they took back home. And ever since being here, she'd been lowering her wall slowly over time. She began to let people into her heart more as the time went by here. And while she was glad to get closer to her friends here, it also left her feeling vulnerable.
She couldn't simply shut out her emotions anymore. Not after all of the time spent here and really finding that what she felt for Jean was love. Heartbreak was a bitch and she'd been through this before. She didn't want to feel, but it seemed her heart decided that it was necessary.
Honestly, she felt a little lonely, but she knew she had the others so she wasn't truly alone. And what right did she have to mope when Armin had still been suffering over Sansa leaving? At least Jean came back at one point. Sansa hadn't. She was fortunate to have such wonderful people in her life that would come to her aid when she needed it. If it was a physical fight, Mikasa could manage, but emotionally was a different story.]
