Also Miss Reiju! ♥ I do think the two of them saw each other in a pretty similar light. Out of everyone who ended up in this party of zombie adventurers, Leontuzzo saw her as the most professional and level-headed of the lot by a long shot. Some of the others could remain pretty calm and quick on their feet, but Reiju had this air about her of a woman who had handled a crisis before, and was ready to handle one again.
She also showed a level of trust in him early on by just handing over a gun to him at his request that I think left a good impression on him. Realistically he couldn't blame a single person for not wanting to give their best weapons to a stranger, just because he claimed he knew how to use them, but considering he also had a small tiff with Hella who was not so ready to give him the benefit of the doubt means he had a direct comparison too on that one.
With the short amount of time they were together for, Leon didn't get to fully understand her as much as he wanted to, because she seemed like she was a very complicated woman with a past that he could both understand and relate to if they'd had more time to sit down and talk. Caught up as he was in trying to keep himself together though, he didn't pry too much when he got a glimpse of her past, but it definitely sparked some feeling of kinship or at least empathetic understanding from him, as someone who came from a crime family that he'd recently left behind himself.
Even though everyone ended up being alive in some capacity in the end, Leon was relieved that Reiju was one of the ones to make to the very end in one piece, and genuinely isn't certain they would have made it through to that point without her being a very cool-headed and reasonable presence there to balance out some of the more quick tempered and impulsive people in their group.
