But watching this gentle monster get attacked and turn to dust before her very eyes-knowing that it's because he needs to face the child behind him and unsure of how to make that happen, if it should happen, why it needs to happen-
She tries to get behind him. Maybe offer some kind of cover, because it doesn't particularly matter if she gets hit. It's not going to change the outcome for her, no matter how bad she wants live she's desperate to live, but it might make a difference for him.]
