Petite Negra Health Check

I have a Petite Negra that I recently got from a nursery. One branch looks pretty good, has four figs growing, I'm very excited. The other branch looks sad and droopy, and something is maybe consuming it? Does this look like something I should be concerned about or should prompt an intervention on my part? Thanks for any thoughts!

(Same caveat as with my other post: I'm new, patience / transfer of wisdom much appreciated)

My Petite Negra droops a bit too.  I think that it may just be a natural growth habit for this variety.

The chewed up leaf could be caterpillar damage. If this has happened since you bought it then I would check the leaves carefully to ensure it/they are gone and haven't just moved to another plant. Some critters only seem to be active at night so it might be an idea to grab a torch and check the plant over after dark.
