I appreciate any time you bought him, even if he's dead no matter what.

[ He'll either be tortured and likely fed to someone else in Paradis, or suffer a similar fate on return to Marley. Because he's avoided Levi, and hasn't met Falco; he doesn't know that Reiner does survive. ]

[ Bertholdt pauses again, here. When he speaks again his voice is as soft as it's ever been. ]

We were happy, in Paradis.
