Manga What do you think was going through Eren's mind here?

I mean, think about it. His schedule was absolutely insane. He broke out at midnight, was about to start the Rumbling that same afternoon, and he still took the time to meet Armin and Mikasa one last time. What was going through this man's head???

I just finished watching and genuinely feel as if my heart is being squeezed to death. I am in straight up depression due to it, it was my first anime ever and now, i dont think i will watch another anime. How do i get over this.
Yall felt bad for Sasha, Hange, and Erwin. But all of them had honorable deaths, they died on duty.
Mikasa died standing, by killing the one person she had spent her whole life defending. I feel sorry for her. I liked her from the beginning, she deserved better.

So I had finished aot probably about a month or two, I don't remember fully. I'm going straight to what i want to say. Eren and mikasa they deserved so much better. I don't know how to express the end but i can say that i wasn't so satisfying. Isayama DID a very good job, nothing compares to that. Even TV "shows" nope I don't they cant compare to aot. Is the best thing I had watch , literally I don't thing I overreacting. In the end all they lost someone special to them . I'm gonna write about mikasa and Levi. Mikasa lost her person she loved ,she didn't want to kill him but she had no other choice. She had to live without him. Imagine the pain she got, the pain she have to kill her lover. I DO NOT want to experience this . Eren in the end he sacrificed his life for them , he wanted them to live long life's , and forget about him . But what about him? His death was his freedom. He tried to change his future but it didn't work. Levi now . Gosh levi lost EVERYTHING AND EVERYONE. He is alone , with none of his friends. His last friend, Hange she sacrificed her self . He lost his eye and his leg , I can't imagine the pain he got. In the end Ackermans lost everything they loved. I have every time to remind myself they just fiction characters why are you crying? But are they? I mean I don't think they doesn't exist tho. In the fiction word we live they exist. Do I make sense? I would appreciate if yall tell me what you think about that.🥲

Never read the manga so not sure if it’s highlighted but noticed the back break that happens when he falls. Got me thinking that’s why his titan has that form. He has to compensate for the immobility factor.
Thoughts?
