Yes there is. Knowing they killed your family doesn't mean you failed - you never had a chance. You never knew ahead of time, so there's no frustration in not doing enough, since you had no idea something needed to be DONE.

On the other hand, knowing that it's going to happen and not being able to do anything about it is FAR more frustrating for V.
