"Ada...!" Leon knows this woman. It's hard to piece together exactly why; it feels like his memory is in shambles. How does he know her? Where had they met?

He can't focus on any of it, but there's one thing he does know. She's important to him. And he's not about to let her walk away without telling her how he feels. Not this time.

"I heard the message about what's happened. I know there's parts of us that are missing. And while I don't know what you've lost..." He closes his eyes with a sigh. He's never been good at this sort of thing-- a corny one-liner comes more easily than a candid discussion of feelings. But this is too important to mess up.

"I think I found something that's yours." He offers it forward, a gentle hand careful with precious memories that aren't his own.

What he'd seen from it was enough to give him pause. All things she had seen with him, and yet his own memory of that time is filled with gaps. A night on the run, a kiss, a train... a ruined village, and all of their many goodbyes. The memory had played out scenes he'd never known about; Ada and Wesker, talking about Krauser. In every scene he was shown, she was looking out for him, whether he knew it or not.

"I know you have no reason to believe me, but I think--" (I'd like to think) "--that these mean something to you."

"Even when I can't be sure of myself, I'm sure that I can trust you. What about you, Ada? Do you trust me?"
