During your usual rendezvous on the Full Moon in exchange for his grimoire use, Stolas had another means of tonight. He had been secretly procuring an Asmodean Crystal for you to use and go to Earth without the need for his book, since.... He LOVES you.

This obviously causes some upset as he takes the book and you beg for him to reconsider, but he simply presents you with the precious magic gem. You're confused at this, especially after Stolas saying that upon you getting the Crystal, you're... "free of him". But... Why? You could always do better. You told him exactly that, but he simply leans down to your level.
