Nevermind, to summarize the question I asked........If you had no answer that suffered, that no answer also didn't suffer because there's no answer to suffer too, but the no answer can still suffer by being lonely or not, either way Eric the no answer is the protector. For example if you hadthe no answer as the protector that was meant to protect that person and that person was a no answer too, then if that person suffered and did not suffer at the same time. This means that protector can exist regardless is that person suffered or not.
