It does matter, Leon! You're here, and you're breathing... and as long as you're here... I won't let that happen again!
[he'll fight this tooth and nail. it upsets him too much to think of leon getting hurt or killed again. it upsets him to think that he's supposed to be a swordian master tasked with saving an entire world, but he can't even protect his best friend time and time again.
maybe leon thinks it doesn't matter. but to stahn, it matters so much. he can't let that second chance at life go so recklessly. he can't let leon bear all the burdens alone just because their fates are so far apart. leon saved him once... it's his turn to make sure leon gets saved. which is why he doesn't back down, and why he'll follow leon every step of the way even if leon tries to leave him behind.
the last time leon went off alone... it didn't end well.
stahn can't watch that again. the idea of it terrifies him.]
I'm not going to drag you down... I'm—I'm not that weak. [things have changed, leon.] We're friends. We fight together when it comes to things like this.
