[Combeferre's words are the final straw. Jehan just starts crying, head in his hands trying to stay quiet. He was stupid for thinking they'd mind. Combeferre still thinks him brave when he obviously isn't. He's a hero, he says. Jehan just wants to ask "how". How is he a hero, how is he brave when he's an utter mess who instead of going to his friends hid this from them? He ran when the stress got to be too much, he's a coward.
Jehan doesn't realize he's said all this out loud, either.]
