Sasha was not the defining character in the female half of the cast. Yes, there is more space now, but her loss is not a huge vacuum. Losing Mikasa would be a huge vacuum, because she's an omnipresent character who has been with Eren since the beginning. But Eren rarely (if ever) interacts with Sasha outside of the group and it's largely Eren's story we're following. He's the protagonist.

Big voids are created when someone important to him is lost. And while he's sad Sasha is dead, Eren and Sasha didn't have the kind of bond where losing her would have been on the level of losing Mikasa or Armin, both of which would "huge vacuum" characters if they died.

I know you're going to disagree, but think the best thing would be for Gabi and Eren to sit down together and see where the cycle of violence is getting them, because right now Gabi just went through her Fall of Shiganshina and Eren was the Colossal Titan. Payback isn't working for anybody.
