This was brilliant! You're right...FFII really needs more fan fiction out there! XD And this was great, honestly. Like zerrat already mentioned, I think this was a very realistic interpretation of what Leon's attitude and reasoning was. The game never goes great lengths into it, so I think you really fleshed out his character here and gave him a mindset that was missing in the actual game itself. He seems...human here. It actually kind of makes me view him differently than I do in the game itself, so great job! XD You wrote this brilliantly. ♥
