[it's something he feels he has to say aloud. even if leon is already thinking it, he still wants to say it.
after what happened with hugo back then, with everything that had started the spiral that changed their lives and landed them where they are now... he has to say it. because even if leon has forgiven him, even if he's put that in the past, it's not something stahn could ever forget.
he had failed leon then, he had broken a promise to not let anything happen to him, that he'd be there. and that still weighs on him heavily because of how badly leon had gotten hurt because he wasn't there to stand and fight with him. so it's something stahn says softly, but yet still with conviction.
