Hours earlier…
The moment that Leon woke up and found himself in a lucid dream with the Demon of Ozempic, on one hand he finally accepted that the mission failed, and on the other hand he realized that he was still alive!
To a Mechanist and to him especially, that meant everything.
So long that he was still alive, then he still had a chance. So long as there was life, anything could happen.
After the conversation with Lucian, learning about the backstory of the boy who became the Demon of Ozempic, Leon truly felt sympathy for Lucian but this didn't erase all the crimes that the 19-year-old had committed.
Lucian's tragic past didn't erase the thousands of lives that already died because of him, his tragic past did not erase the fact that Daren was currently hospitalized because of him.
Leon already vowed to kill him and end the Extremist Movement, and he was not going to stop just because he heard a touching story.
Afterall, everybody had a story to tell.
