[leon is right, of course. leon is right, because he so often often is—but it's still really surprising for stahn to here. despite everything...
leon is being encouraging, isn't he?
he's trying to help stahn, he's trying to work him through some really difficult feelings even despite everything else. leon is the first person to tell him to slow down. well—of those who really knew the situation back home. otome had helped a bit, but it wasn't quite the same when she didn't have the full picture of the gravity of their situation and who it involved.
but leon did. leon is the first to tell him to make decisions for himself and try to actually lead him in the direction of trying to deal with the things that plague him. even though leon himself is clearly exhausted in every way.]
...I'm sorry. [he mumbles, quietly. he knows leon is right. he knows these are things he should do while he has the time. but everyone has conditioned him so much to believe that he needs to keep pressing forward that now? he's not really even sure where to start.
but he appreciates leon's intent, and he appreciates the fact that leon is doing even this much for him after all that's happened. but he feels bad for the fact that it needs to happen at all—as it turns out, leon isn't the only one who has a hard time with coping mechanisms.]
