[After five years of war, Claude has seen his fair share of destruction, and the state parts of Springstar have fallen into compare to some of the devastation he's seen after such battles. Garreg Mach, Merceus, Enbarr. And in many of those cases as now, the cause is a supernatural force he still feels he barely understands. Could he have done more to help stop the Blight before it became this severe...?
But there's no use in hand-wringing over possibilities. Then as now, he's learned it's better to take action in a crisis and leave the thinking for later. Claude's doing his best to help with clearing rubble, carrying survivors, patching up wounds as best he can before taking the injured parties to safety. Much like in the war, the harrowing scenes he sees, too, are things he will have to push to the back of his mind for later.
Even Heliopolis hasn't escaped unscathed, though at least the communion from Cyrus indicates their leader is still alive, even if the Seat of the Tribune itself took damage. Around this area at least, Claude's leaving the heftier work to the military, heading to a collapsed block of housing to see in what ways he can assist, bringing water and some supplies he's been able to scavenge to help the wounded.
It's around that time he spots a certain jinba ahead, and he has to clumsily climb over a fallen marble column to reach her as he calls.]
Hayame! You okay? [He's relieved she's safe, at least.]
