[Dying isn't a way to make up for mistakes--isn't that the truth. If there's anything this entire experience has made plain, it's that. It's that dying had resolved nothing, and is simply now coming back to bite him. It's that dying was really honestly one of the worst things that could have happened, even if Leon still would have made the same choices.
Because he saved them, and that was important.
But on the other hand...
He can really see that this...was a problem from start to finish. Do it the right way, Stahn says, but Leon doesn't know what the right way is, and there wasn't an easy answer for how he should continue to live his life now, but that would've been too easy, wouldn't it? If it was that easy, Leon would have found it already.
But what he does know is that he's also tired of constantly fighting against Stahn's efforts.
He sighs softly, looking away, but ultimately ends up nodding shortly. He understands. He can't say much, and he doesn't know even now how to make his life mean something here now, but...he at least understands where Stahn's coming from, and he won't argue against that.]
