He shouldn't have let her in

She was a traumatised orphan with dangerous people potentially after her. Could've drawn police attention aswell straight to his door. He exposes his trade to her and takes on hits for her sake with no payment to show for it. Spends time training her without any understanding that he will earn anything from her hits.

It turns out LATER that she gave his life meaning but that was just a lucky coincidence. He didn't look for company and also made it very clear in the very beginning that she can't stay. He ended up getting killed because of her.

Ok, Leon wasn't a perfect killer after all. Maybe you are.

You’d have left the kid to get gunned down by those psychos?

Yes. She isn't really my responsibility and given the profession i'm in i'm already exposed as it is. Why would i put my life at risk or compromise my anonymity for some random civilian? He literally ended up dead because of it.

That would have been a short film.

OK. Most people wouldn’t let the child of their neighbour get slaughtered.

Newsflash: cold heartless murderers are basically already dead. She did him a favor by giving him a glimpse of a righteous life.
