[That....is the real problem, yes. That's where all of the struggles stem from. Would he have been able to hurt him.
Leon looks away at that, jaw clenching and expression tightening. He doesn't know. He'd had such resolve before, when he'd lifted his sword to Stahn and the others, when he'd been prepared to strike them down for the sake of his most important person.
But he doesn't have that resolve here. Here, the only reason he would have had to fight those bots would have been to preserve his own life, and he just doesn't have that anymore. There was a time when he'd wanted to live a long, full life, to be able to surpass his father and be more than him, but...
He's dead.
So that's meaningless now, and Leon's shoulders slump as he realizes that no, he probably would not have been able to hurt those bots at all.]
