Jean's Mama - Tumblr Posts

Does anybody else think about Jean Kirstein reuniting with his mother post-rumbling?

This scene is living rent free in my head: on the boat, he's dreading the moment. Not because he doesn't want to see her, no, Jean desperately wants to see his mother. He dreads seeing her because he doesn't know what she'll think of him now.

Will she see a monster? Jean hasn't seen his mother in years - will she look at him in horror? Because she knows he's killed people? That he has blood on his hands? He can never go back now.

Once they arrive to Paradis, Jean finds his mother waiting for them. He approaches her tentatively, his head hung down. She throws her arms around him - "my Jeanboy!" and pulls him into a tight hug. And Jean breaks down sobbing, because in that moment, he knows that his mother loves him so fiercely no matter what he's done - he will always be the little Jeanboy she made omelettes for in her mind.
