** If one can recall this exact same moment with Robert Kendo. He knows his daughter is infected and beyond saving but he refused to abandon her. In the case of Leon and Ashley? Unlike the T-Virus and whatnot, the Parasite can be suppressed for a time until they can remove the parasites. Additionally, Ada has faith in Leon and as we know, Wesker is "watching" so Ada cannot freely move on her own too much. He hates to wait. And because Wesker was killed off at the end of [=RE5=], Ada was much more flexible in tagging along in [=RE6=], coming to the aid of Leon (3 times, I think) and also helping Sherry and Jake as well as random people in China.

** As long as Wesker succeeds in his plans, those kind of setbacks don't matter much to him. As shown, he retrieved Krauser's body and got the sample off his corpse.

[[folder:Revealing the plan]]
* Why would Wesker reveal his plan to Ada? Did he really think Ada was going to hand over the amber after telling her it's a crucial part of a plan to murder over six billion people? Even a person with no scruples who's OnlyInItForTheMoney wouldn't do this when they realize the odds of surviving are not in their favor and even if they did survive there won't be an economy to spend that money in.

[[folder:"Leave the girl"?]]
* What exactly is the point in Ada trying to get Leon to abandon Ashley? There's no way he'd do that anyway, but what was she thinking? She's not even offering to stick with him; just saying that he might live to see her again - so he'd go his own way, leave poor Ashley to suffer a fate worse than death... and then what?

** Considering the pain she was in prior to the parasite being regurgitated, it's very likely that the plaga tore its way into her stomach in its attempt to escape once it was "deactivated" by the death of the Verdugo.

* In ''Separate Ways'' we see Ada chasing Luis through his burning laboratory while warning him not to breathe the smoke. Luis has an oxygen meter indicating that he will die if it is depleted, but Ada makes it through the inferno and tosses Luis out on his ass without so much as a cough. Does her infection make her immune to smoke, or is she just really good at holding her breath while running?

[[folder:Ada vomiting up the parasite]]
* So after defeating Pesanta in ''Separate Ways'', the parasite dies and Ada vomits it up. How did it get into her digestive tract? Everything else we see of Plagas shows them attaching to the nervous system.

** It was possibly dealt with by Ada and/or Luis. We know from the original that Ada was causing havoc on her own in the island and she was also present in the castle at the same time as Leon.

about the ethics of selling what he finds lying around.

** The Las Plagas is a different mutation from the T Virus, but some of the T Virus mutants like Alexia and the Leech Marcus did show an ability to go back and forth between human and monster form. The Las Plagas mutations might have a similar status.

** This comes down to GameplayAndStorySegregation, in reality Leon was probably only able to take a handful of those items home as trinkets. Inventory space is massive in gameplay, but not in the realistic version of what Leon would have been doing. The bright side of things, is that the US and Spanish governments likely would have opened up an investigation into the village in the aftermath of the game, just to see the full extent of what Saddler was up to. Any remaining treasures or heirlooms probably would have been found by the clean up crew. If not, that's just the sad nature of archeology, sometimes important things get passed down, other times they get lost to history -- you win some, you lose some.

[[folder: Leon commiting a cultural crime by stealing and selling loot?]]
* Just like in original RE4, Leon is forced to trek through a hostile village to follow a poorly planned grab-&-run of Ashley. However, while trekking he's breaking into people's homes and stealing their hard-earned gifts and heirlooms they spent untold generations putting their life stories into. Leon is betraying what he learned as a cop and acting more like the British Museum by having the Merchant give him good discounts and putting what little humanity the village already had in those gems and ornaments!?

** All of those characters are blatantly insane fanatics who would be perfectly happy living on in their monstrous forms for Saddler and Los Illuminados, with Saddler himself being merely a meat puppet to the larger HiveMind. And as for Krauser, whose mutation is the least gnarly, the Mercenaries mode hint that he could possibly turn his arms back to normal if he wanted to.

*** I actually answered my own question - Leon knew they were infected with the Plaga and Luis told them to meet him in the castle since he had a way to treat the infection. It's been a while but I think this plot hole existed in the original, though.

[[folder: Then what?]]
* What would Mendez, Salazar, Krauser, or Saddler have done if they had successfully killed Leon? All of them had transformed into monstrous forms by the end of their respective fights. Is there any hint that they can, I don't know, revert? Or would Saddler have just been a giant mutated spider thing with eyeballs on its legs from then on?

** The exit path towards the cabin was their designated spot for their helicopter rescue. As for why the helicopter did not land towards the Hunter's lodge instead; if you recall the terrain around the area, it is full of trees with little open space available for a helicopter pick-up.
