I love leon going papa bear on a bunch of cia agents over sherry <3 he needed to bring that energy back and whisk her outta there earlier LOL thats his daughter you assholes!!!!

they really just crushed his soul, man. I keep thinking about how completely and utterly Leon just gave the fuck up the second CIA threatened Sherry, and he never got his fight back.

he became a part of law enforcement because he truly believed in justice and fairness and equality -- that the good guys would always win, and the bad guys would always lose.

and then here comes Brian Irons to relieve him of that idea.

and then here comes Ada Wong to rub salt in the wound.

and then here comes the CIA to just coup-de-grace any lingering notion in his mind that there's any sort of justice in this world at all.

Sherry was Leon's reason for living. he consciously made the decision to not kill himself simply for her sake. and they took her from him.

after everything he'd already been through, they took Sherry from him. and suddenly the world felt like it was running on repeat, with only the worst parts coming back around again and again and again.

I'd probably give up, too.
