Even having realized that memories were being exchanged, Leon couldn't have expected suddenly receiving Stahn's, and Leon's overwhelmed--the view, the sensations, the very image of Marian again...
It makes his heart hurt and his throat close up, even as he's able to see. She asked for him. But she knew. He can see it in her eyes, even as she vows to wait for him, and he wants to ask her why--but this isn't his memory, this is Stahn's, and he can see how distressed everyone is by it, even if he doesn't understand (why would they be so upset over this? He's grateful they tried to comfort her, but why?) and...
When he comes out of it, he can see that Stahn doesn't look so good, but...he's not capable of doing anything right now. He's crouched there on the floor instead, fists clenched so tightly his knuckles are white, and despite himself... his eyes are wet.
He never thought he'd be able to see Marian ever again. But seeing her like that?

It's almost worst.]
