No, I'm sure it won't. And it seems like there's plenty of people who've made it out if where Tobias went off towards is any indicator, but who knows who many others we'll find.
[ Claude doesn't bother to phrase that as a proper question because he's positive Steve is right as he looks up at the remaining closed pods with so many more open than not: there's a reason they haven't opened, and it's not a good one. If they're lucky - if - they'll be able to open a few in time to save whoever's inside. Even that isn't a guarantee since there's plenty of grim scenarios to encounter along the way and he takes a slow inhale while considering all of them.
No other alternative crosses his mind regardless of that. They need to do what they can to get as many others out, alive or otherwise. When Steve mentions the very thing, possibility, person he's trying to avoid dealing with when there's no answers yet, Claude doesn't react. Externally, since internally there's that same dread again he'd been pushing aside only for it to come right back.
One more moment of looking at the opened pods. Maybe Sylvain wasn't in one after all and made it back to Cadens despite how it looked right before he'd blacked out. It could happen. It's possible.
Time to exhale that breath, and then he nods with his face set in grim determination for the task that's waiting for them. ]
Right. Let's get to work.
[ Nothing else to do but to step forward to the next pod to start locating a weak point to begin the process of tearing into it in the first of the others yet to come. ]
