[He takes in her words in silence, expression devoid of emotion. It's honestly not a lot, what she's given him, but it's enough; he doesn't need the entire puzzle completed to fill out the bigger picture.

No, clearly, the man she speaks of is from her world.
So if whatever words transpired between them brought Claire Farron to her knees like this, it must have been something quite... catastrophic.
