[He's a kid protecting an even smaller kid. And even warped and fucked up like this as he is, Marco really does feel a lot of sorrow on his behalf, despite still being brutal and cutting.]
You cannot protect her from everything, no. You cannot save her from seeing things, nor stop her from going out into those battlefields and wars.
What you must do, is help her to be as strong as she can before those things happen, and help to heal her after those things inevitably do.
Striving to prevent those things from occurring at all is impossible and a waste of your energy. A natural urge, aye, but useless.
I am sorry for worrying you, however. No children saw, I promise. I do not wish to have children around me this day, I am too raw and angry right now, but even I would never hurt a child. Not even accidentally. My father would be disappointed in such a thing.
