No, I don't want that! ... Ten years, at least!

What it means

Our interpretation.

The grand language of destiny collapses into a selfish, painfully ordinary fear of being forgotten. Armin hears the vulnerable person behind Eren’s attempts to control everything.

In the final conversation with Armin, Eren loses his composure over the thought of Mikasa loving someone else. Chapter 139 places the outburst beside the consequences of his choices. The card marks two excerpts from the same manga outburst with an ellipsis; the 2023 anime adaptation phrases the ending as her “pining after him for at least ten years.”
