I simply meant in terms of those who may have spoken to the aftermath, actually, that I know of for certain, but no, I cannot imagine that it would have been a place for Gavroche, much as he has always managed to find ways to live against what life has thrown at him.

As for Javert...

[Enjolras is not sure that he would say cruel exactly, but there is, undoubtedly, a great deal of empathy that the man lacks, and a good deal of thinking that does not apply to people as such. Perhaps it seems like a good fit for a policeman, who'll ensure that justice will be done, but in reality, it has obviously not played to Eponine's advantage, so...]

He lacks an understanding of humanity I think. One that I had to learn as well, but it seems, really, that he never did. I do not suggest that he be pitied for that, of course, there are always ways to learn if one is willing, but it makes it a bit easier, perhaps, to understand what he is like. We've worked together here, you know, not by choice, but a random draw, at a time we were divided into groups, and faced some dark things together, were tor...

Well, we experienced some extremely difficult things, I'll say. But unlike with the others in our party, we did not draw closer together after. I think he lacks ability for that, or perhaps context. Sad, certainly, but there is more that he might have looked closer at in life...the man is complicated, let us say, and leave it there. I doubt we would get far at any rate.

I think so yes, to both of those ideas. There are so many who I would like to remember, and to honor. You have a good idea there, Eponine. I think that we can easily see it done.
