Tony wasn't thrilled with Maru pointing out that if Madoka is so insistent on fighting she was obviously going to get hurt sometimes. It spoke to how honest the little furball was though. He couldn't completely fault him for it either, especially with that final plea.

"Why can't you help me convince her not to do those things yet instead? She's too young to be out there fighting, protecting, and being strong." That's what her dad was for. He looked out on the water wishing he could keep everyone from getting hurt. Why wasn't that ever an option? Someone always seemed to get hurt despite his best efforts. "She's just a little kid."
