Reiner invaded her space frequently enough, in these days since they arrived. He did it in strange ways, like how he placed his hand on her head as if she might not lash out at him. Sometimes she didn't, though other times she reacted immediately without thinking. They're probably lucky that she's too overtaxed right in that moment to respond properly, instead she's just trying to make sense of what is happening right then.
Bertolt didn't reach out to people. No, he might have lingered near her more than he should have when they were undercover or watched her, but he didn't reach out. Really, he didn't like touching anyone, she thinks.
"I never fought for anyone," she admits, quiet but still too thoroughly well-trained to be unashamed of at least that one facet of her understanding of her actions. It wasn't necessarily true, but she couldn't see it another way.
