[Everything deserves a second look and understanding before passing judgment. It doesn't match up with the Leon that she knows and it's for that reason she realized she needed to breathe and take a step back. Like his execution and his death, she can only imagine it's hard for him to talk about.
Then again, could she talk about it if their situations were reversed? Probably not. She watches him carefully even as he walks away to the couch, and when he looks at her she follows quietly as she settles on the couch next to him. She's pressed up into a corner of the couch, eyes narrowing in thought.]
...no, I don't think you ever did. [She got the impression that maybe something had happened back that day at the water park when he didn't explain just how long it's been for him, but she never could have imagined that. The fact that he's actually two years older than she figured also doesn't entirely bother her. It just brings up more questions.] Who's "she"? And what's this about Mutual Killing? [And what's with your little handbook there, Leon? It's clear from her tone that yeah...yeah, she thinks it's pretty messed up, too.]
