[ she hums thoughtfully at claude's immediate answer and makes an adjustment on her opinion of him some. ]
I can't say for sure, but I would guess the emotions would range from desperation to resolution. I think enough of us will still try to stand tall through it all, but not without being on the verge of crumbling from the weight of it all.
