Of all events that had occurred recently, this was a strange one. The earthquake had caused him to come out in order to protect not only himself but his double---of whom while strong, was not strong enough to keep from falling rubble. He didn’t like being out, not one bit, but survival was priority right now.
And speaking of priority, he felt a need to...ensure someone else’s.
This was strange---he didn’t know what this feeling was. Something warm in his chest told him to go look for her, to make sure she was safe. Nothing of the past itch that clawed at him, told him if she were gone, he would be safe. He would be that much closer to erasing the past. No, now he wished to preserve this one inkling of the past, the one reminder of her. Quite frankly he felt like this change could cause him to be sick.
Regardless, his feet carried him to search for the short haired girl, making entirely sure to stay out of anyone else’s line of sight along the way (he may have suddenly grown fond of his daughter, but that did not mean he would risk his identity for her). Eyes scanning as they went, hands moving rubble where they could, they locked onto the girl. She seemed fine at first glance, but that was never telling enough.
Quickly making his way over to her, he grabbed firm on her shoulder, not caring to announce himself.
“Trish,” he stated, voice low. His gaze did not deter from it’s normal glare, though it soon softened as he leaned down towards her level.
“My dearest Trish... Are you alright?”
