and you know i think that makes his choice to keep the chip in infinite darkness so interesting, because that is HIS choice... yeah he's being blackmailed into working with the government so he's got that looming over him... but it is leons choice to keep that chip from claire, and frankly, it's the wrong choice made for the right reason.

because i get why he does it. he knows what the government is capable of, and he doesn't want anybody to get hurt, especially not claire, yadda, yadda, yadda... but if we ignore the fact that this is leon kennedy and claire redfield... here we have a situation where a united states government worker is knowingly withholding information regarding crimes the united states is committing against its own people all because said government worker is letting their personal feelings get in the way. is this a cold way to see it? yes. is this how people who actually live in the resident evil universe would see it? yes!

and he has that line after claire leaves that hints at him believing he can fix everything from the inside... but he failed! we know he failed! he kept this information to himself and he is fully complicit for any further harm that comes from HIS decision.
