Bertolt was just a puppet, being pulled around by people like Reiner and Zeke. I'm not denying what he did was horrible, but you don't blame the puppet, you blame the puppeteer.

He was quiet and meek because he didn't know what to do. He's not strong like Reiner, not a loner like Annie, so he doesn't know how to react. He puts up this facade of emotional detachment because he just wants to go home.

In later chapters we see him, he's the role of the monster that his former friends have given him. I interrupt it as him giving up. When's he's about to be eaten, I feel like he regrets what he did and tries to reach out to his friends who not only won't help him, but would love nothing more than to see him die.

Bertolt's story is one of tragic, loss of innocence, and indenty.

I'm going to miss him.
