Hi! Parker, I just wanted to share this with you ever since I finished the game!

Leon is so sweet to Grace it's not very surprising at this point given his overall personality but still It makes me extremely emotional. I know his maternal instincts kicked in the moment he met Grace, and constantly even more or so when she accidentally calls him "Mom." LMAO

Okay, on a serious note though, he's ready to die if it means Grace could survive. That's his new adopted daughter FR!!! As cliché as it might sound, I love that the "Found Family" trope played a major role in the game—with Leon and Sherry, Alyssa and Grace, Leon and Grace, Grace and Emily, except for Spencer and Grace. I don't buy his called redemption arc or whatsoever, it just came out of nowhere if you ask me. I love that Grace & Emily and Leon & Sherry still keep in touch after the events. It's really cute to think about.

And the Chreon endgame moments in this game? Chris specially sending all the "wolves" to Leon's rescue with a personal message as soon as he heard from Sherry? Leon receives the first lady treatment because he's married to the Alpha of HWS. Basically, their mission in the game is "Saving Leon S. Kennedy and the missing FBI agent is the first priority, dealing with the Umbrella. BSAA and the aftermath are the second." Chris is officially Leon's emergency contact at this point. It legally comes with a marriage certificate after all.

Leon wishes Chris had been there with him, so things "would have been a lot smoother" and smiles at the thought of "running into" Chris again. It is really a nice touch to their whole relationship. He misses his long-distance husband so much alright!

Gosh, I'm dying to know what Chris's message to Leon is all about? I hope we'll find out in a DLC or maybe a new CGI movie!!!

OMG HI DRAWII!!!!! I'M SO EXCITED TO SEE YOUR REQUIEM CHREON ART HEHEHE.

CHREON FANS MAKE SOME FUCKING NOISE!!!!!!

Of all the things I expected in RE9, Chreon crumbs was honestly not one of them but this is gonna fuel me for the next decade. On a serious note though, I think this speaks volumes about the level of trust they have in each other and just how impactful Chris finding Leon in Colorado was to Leon's emotional well-being. Him going from isolated, withdrawn, and wanting to be left alone to lick his wounds to willingly asking for help and eager to connect with Chris is absolutely beautiful, and I love the details so much. Leon's "I'll stop you as many times as I have to," being a direct callback to their conversation at the end of VD where Chris tells him they'll keep doing this as long as they have to is adorable. I also love that even though Chris wasn't the one to pull Leon out of the building (likely purely due to Capcom inner-working bullshit reasons it seems), he's clearly very concerned and on the comms with Umber Eyes specifically asking if Leon's ok. We never do find out what Chris' "secret message" for Leon is though... much to think about.

AND THE END SCENE??? Leon smiling while talking about he's sure he's going to see Chris and talking to Sherry about him is fucking adorable, and this also means Sherry & Chris seem to know each other post RE6 too.
