behind the smile of the sunset.
That time. after the incident at Javier mansion.
Leon took the time to visit somekind a secret facility built by the U.S government.
Right, The girl he saved (Manuela) is currently able to lead a normal life, although still under close supervision.
when he arrived. he still saw that Manuela was still singing, in outside... just like when he and krauser met at the church for the first time.
" manuela... "
suddenly She stopped singing and turned around. She didn't expect that this time Leon visited her. She smiled and waved her hand.
they talk to each other.
until...
" Leon. maybe it's too late. But, I want to tell you this.
thank you, for saving me. and gave me fond memories of my mother. " she said
" no. I should apologize to you, Manuela. in fact, that Krauser and I both killed your mother, and your father also. if only we knew about that... "
Manuela smiled while shaking her head. as if she had given up on her mother's death.
" you don't have to apologize. I think.. it's a good choice so that's my mother, and my father... can sleep in there... " she said while smile.
Leon could only be silent as long as he saw Manuela who was very strong and could also smile. but when the wind blew, she knew that at this moment, she let her tears be swept away by the wind.
what was surprising was... Leon suddenly hugged Manuela. even more...
" you can cry all you want.
I'm just telling you this, Manuela.
a child who lost a parent, can only give tears, and also a smile. as a sign of gratitude for being born into this world. no one forbids it.
So if you want to cry, then cry.
I will block anyone who sees you cry. this is all i can do for you. "
For some reason, Leon's words reminded Manuela of her memories with her mother.

So, when mom isn't with you, sing. because for mothers, this song feels as warm as the embrace of the sun. " she said while giving a hug before going to sleep
" how did you know? " asked Manuela.
" you will know it, when you grow up.
