First the revelation that Leon was dead, and now the add-on that the boy was also a zombie? That was a bit too much. Kratos looked from the decaying corpses below to Stahn and then back to the zombies. "Leon resembled...that?" He pointed slowly toward one of the things. "Truly?"

This did change things somewhat, although it wasn't enough for Kratos to demand a plunge into action: it was more disturbing than motivational. "You might have had a point earlier," he said quietly, "but then again, perhaps not. Leon might have been taken from a time before his" - Kratos coughed - "transformation, in which case he wouldn't know about it."
