Kobra absolutely refuses to acknowledge that he's crying, but he is. They've already lost everyone and he doesn't know if they really will ever see Party or Ghoul or Jet again and that makes him feel small and helpless in a way he never has before.
Maybe there's a part of him that doesn't want her to grow up so fast. He's not even sure what a real childhood's supposed to be like, but he knows that he was already doing all sorts of dangerous shit at her age and he doesn't want that for her. He'd never known enough to be unhappy with the life he and Party had had, but he knows that he wants things for her that no one could've given him back then.
It all makes him at least half a hypocrite, though. Fuck.
"Gonna have to start teachin' you how to defend yourself better if you're gonna go around doin' dumb shit like that. Least you can do is find yourself some good backup for when I can't be there."
