i wanna tell you a story. ain't got no characters in it but me. i wanna sing you a sad song. most of it i don't expect you to believe. it starts off just the whiskey and wine, miles of travel and some real good times. but it ends in a dark corridor, and there ain't no windows and there ain't no doors.
Brady: Huh? Hold your griffons—green armor? No, it can't be! Stahl: Brady... Brady: Pop? Is that really you? I thought I recognized you! What are you doin' here? I thought you were dead! Stahl: Well...the Stahl in this world probably is. But I'm not him. I've been sent here from another world to help you. Brady: So you're not my pop? I see... ...... BAWWW! *sniff* I'm s-sorry! It's just...when I see your damned face, I just... Gaaah! Stahl: I'm sorry, Brady. I was trying to stay out of sight. I know you can get emotional at times. Brady: I'm just happy to see ya, Pop... I really, really am! Stahl: You made a tough choice back there with your friends, Brady. I saw the whole thing. Brady: I know, I just... *sniff* I hate myself for being so powerless... Stahl: I completely understand. But you made the right choice, and I'm proud of you. Brady: It tore me apart to do it. But you know what you said to me once? "When you're unsure in battle, ask yourself what you can do for the greater good." Stahl: I taught you that? That's sound advice. But your friends gave you an important task. I would have done the same thing as you. Brady: But was it the right choice? Stahl: Only time will tell. Right now, that's not what you should be thinking about. Brady: I...I know. I need to make sure the gemstones reach Ylisse! Stahl: Exactly! And I'll be right here to help in any way I can.
