AoT is really all about seeing things from the other persons perspective

Yup pretty much. Louise was the girl she saved back in Season 1 in the episode where we got Mikasa's backstory. Ever since that moment Louise has absolutely idolized Mikasa and by extension Eren as well. That's why Louise decided to join the Scout Regiment and why she eventually followed Floch and the Jeagerists to side with Eren. However as you said, Louise is a mirror that reflects back to Mikasa her own blind devotion to Eren and that really disturbs her and maybe, IMHO, also causes somewhat of a disgust reaction within Mikasa.

I think the reason Mikasa is so cold to that girl on her death bed is because she is seeing the same blind devotion in the girl that she has towards Eren. Mikasa feels like she is looking in a mirror when talking with her, and I dont think she likes what she sees. I think she is very much reevaluating her commitment to Eren post-rumbling.
