It's been a few days since Eren returned. In that time Jean has experienced a range of emotions as Eren reacquaints himself: grief, anger, acceptance, love. Eren hasn't forgotten his time, the way others have lost their memories; as he understands it, there's simply too much in Eren's head now, no concept of a future or past itself, that makes it hard for him to navigate his mind.

He assumes Eren has visited Levi. He doesn't know how that went; he didn't ask Eren about the details. He only has his own traumatic experience seeing Eren again to go off of.

He spends the morning baking some apple tarts, a little less sweeter than the recipe calls for. He's found he doesn't like sweet things the way modern people do, or at least those writing his dessert recipes. He packages them up and then makes the short trek from the farm to Levi and Erwin's house.

At the very least, he has some good news to share. He raises his hand and knocks on the door, Mikasa's gifted scarf wrapped around his neck.
