When Choice Will Appear
Approximately in the middle of the game, Grace and Emily find themselves at the Water Treatment facility, where they are pursued by The Girl. Now the heroine must get rid of the monster. To do this, you need to climb to the upper level and open the hatch on the ceiling to kill the boss with sunlight.
Save
As a result, she returns for the girl to continue the journey, but at one moment Emily transforms into a giant monster. By this time, Leon catches up and witnesses this monstrous transformation. The operative grabs his weapon, and Grace begs him to stop.
Can you not shoot Emily?
No. Leon will shoot Emily anyway. The scene is scripted, and the player has no ability to influence the outcome. This narrative trick allows you to deeply feel the dramatic moment where Grace revels in her grief, and Leon experiences a sense of guilt and anger because he had no other choice.

How to save Emily?
Complete the game with a good ending. Emily’s salvation depends on the events in “The Ark.” If all conditions are met, in one of the cutscenes Leon admits: when shooting the girl, he was aiming to not damage vital organs. In the end, Grace takes Emily under her protection. On their joint photo, it’s visible that the girl has lost her sight.
