Sonya just managed to hold back a sigh. That there were kids in this place was something she'd resigned herself towards-however much it was clear she didn't and would never like it.

"It's no better or worse than other military mobile units. Kid like you shouldn't have to fight though."

Emphasis on shouldn't. She knew too damn well that whatever her feelings, being a kid wasn't a failsafe to danger.
