"Being in love and living together are two very different things. Are you really sure you are ready, child? Or did you just come here on an impulse? That simply won't do."

"Love won't fill a hungry belly. If you can't make ends meet, your love may crumble under the pressures of everyday life."

"I have a priceless gem. I will sell it to you for 1000 Gold pieces. If you prove that you can afford it, I'll award you the 'Passed Test of Love 3.'" Stan smirked.

*Please choose "Dull Gem" from the conversation menu with Stan.

"As a young man, I thought that as long as my wife and I loved each other, nothing else mattered."

"Unfortunately, sometimes, love just ain't enough. When my business failed, she and I ended up on the streets together. She suffered alongside me and tried to cheer me, but I felt as though I were a failure as a man!"

"When our child was born, poverty attacked us with renewed abandon. My wife was reduced to skin and bones; she couldn't bear to see our child go hungry, so she gave the babe her share of food." Stan looked away, tears in his eyes.

"It's all in the past now. I finally came to my senses. I started doing any work I could find. It was hard, but with time, our situation improved. I am now the head of the mining association. I can give the ones I love a stable and happy life."

"I wanted you to buy the gem to teach you a lesson. Love is important, but you must also think practically and logically."

"I can sense how much you have put into your relationship. However, remember that love cannot keep your stomach full or put a roof over your heads. Take this gem to Merlin. He'll give you more insight into true happiness," Stan explained with a small smile.
