[That answer comes sharply, almost immediately, before he can even think of the words that are escaping his mouth. But... he can't take it back, either. He doesn't hate the world. Of course he doesn't. How could he hate a world that contains people like Stahn and Marian in it? Even if he was treated poorly by it, he still knows that the world isn't a bad place.
He still wants his world to be saved.
He still wants a place where Stahn and Rutee and Philia and Woodrow and the others can live safely and happily.
Leon just knows that he doesn't deserve a single place in it. He doesn't deserve to want things, to be living like this. For someone like him, who did so many horrible things-- (and he remembers when he killed that young soldier who had admired him so much, who had told him that he couldn't step aside, because he wouldn't be able to look Leon in the eye if he didn't do his duty then, and so he'd killed him, and there was his blood on his sword) --someone as horrible as him really doesn't deserve anything but what he got.
He was content with his ending.
It was the right one, for a filthy traitor like him.]
