You don't know or you don't think your ideas will work?
[ A fine difference. He knows Mikasa is intelligent, she probably has at least some idea. After all, she's closest to Eren and knows how he operates. Knows he has a tendency to go rushing in headlong without much thought. How does one curb an innate part of someone? ]
01 I can't control Eren. [ and she doesn't want to, for the most part ] And he's smarter than he seems, I know that he won't lose his temper and throw his chances of survival away so easily.

02 Most of the time.
03 And I can't ask them to excuse him from punishments, they would lose their leverage.
they took armin and nothing the other recruits do will ever be enough. if she could strike an agreement with the cdc (the idea of such a thing being possible is so unbelievable that it makes her angry), that might allow her some certainty.
she doesn't want them to take eren away. she doesn't want to see him suffer, especially if something like that blue mission comes around again. ]
[ It's strange to see the words on the screen. Strange because he means it, strange because he feels hollow knowing that probably isn't enough. That she won't be satisfied with the given answer– and she shouldn't have to be. Eren is important to her, just as Armin was (is). He sees this from an objective standpoint, can pick it apart and decide the most rational course. The one that had the most logic; and none of those threads saw their way to asking the instructors for any help.
Briefly, like the flutter of a single blink, he wishes he could be subjective. ]

There may not be a direct solution to this.

My suggestion? Connect with people you trust to keep an eye out for him. At least one from every team, so there's a balance.
03
The more people he has watching his back, the less likely it is that he'll get himself in too deep.
[ CDC already functions like a group effort, but sometimes a little more effort is involved. ]

Just remember you don't need to do everything on your own.
