[Leonardo's words about being compassionate and being forgiven will leave Soushi stunned as he has never once considered himself to be as such at all. He was not compassionate. He wasn't even a good person. Even though he is not the type to feel any thrill in bringing pain onto others, but he can watch someone die before his eyes and not feel the least bit of remorse over it. He'll only pretend to feel it, only if the situation called for it. How can he be kind or compassionate if he was like that?
It won't take long for Soushi to answer or even think over Leonardo's question as he knew the answer to it just as easily as he knew the other answers about himself.]
...a worthwhile individual is known to be positive, valuable, and useful. I am neither of those. As much as I enjoy to act the part, I know deep in my heart I am not. I am the contrary of worthwhile -- I am lacking. I lack the basic essentials that makes one a good person.
[After all.]
I can watch a child die before my eyes without feeling any guilt or remorse over the matter. I can walk by someone who is in distressed without feeling the need to help them. I can even attempt to murder those I have known in my childhood the moment they're no longer of any use to me. And now I can harm my master without a second though while harming her emotionally before doing so physically. If you believe an individual like I just described is compassionate and worthwhile, then...we have a different viewpoint over the meaning of the word.
[And with a bitter laugh, he will easily add:]
...to place me in the same level as people like Ririchiyo-sama, you, Doctor-san, Morgana-san, Pyro-san, the Lady in Blue, Alice-san, and Ayame-san...it makes me feel ill... [He will lower his head in a humble manner when he further admits:] ...that is one of the main reasons I prefer to serve those type of individuals than ever consider myself in their same level. There aren't enough worthwhile individuals, so I wish to protect the little that do exist. [A pause as he thinks about it.] I feel the most at peace by their side...I greatly enjoy it... [And that was the truth, he felt happy being by the side of those he feels admiration and respect towards. If he couldn't serve them, he would feel empty again.]
