Mako was speechless after what Leon had just proposed to him.
"You want to fight me, now? But what about everything that has happened to us so far, doesn't that mean anything to you?" Mako asked.
"Yes, I do!" Leon replied.
"Please try to understand that I am not doing this out of hate anymore. You have truly opened my eyes to see that you two have no ill intentions against me, and even now you are offering me to join you; however, I simply can't. I can't bring myself to join you guys when I know that I am weaker and will only slow you down." Leon added with a determined expression on his face.
"Leon, neither of us thinks you are weak. Please... don't do this. You have only just recovered and fighting with me right now will bring you more harm than good." Mako tried to reason with Leon but it fell on deaf ears as Leon had made up his mind.
