[an exercise in futility it certainly is, because stahn's gaze will harden a bit more.]
That's... not something you get to decide by yourself. A person... they can't decide that they're a hero alone, but that means they can't decide they aren't, either.
[funny how that works, isn't it?] It doesn't matter if you don't think you are. It doesn't matter if you don't want to be one.
[stahn closes his eyes and he shakes his head. this is something he feels so strongly about. it's something that stahn himself can't budge on, because in his heart, he always knew that leon was a good person; he wanted to do the right thing.
he made mistakes, and if not for the way he gave his life, it's entirely likely that he would have been remembered as a hero despite his misdeeds—because he wanted to repent. he wanted to fight alongside the swordian masters and stop hugo (and ultimately, miktran), and surely the king of seinegald would have understood what happened, even if he faced some punishment for it somehow.
but add that in with his actions as judas, with how he protected kyle and loni, how he did what he could to return stahn's life in so many ways, and what he gave up to do them all...]

To me, you're a hero.
