So now you have seen it, the whole tale. You saw me as a child and as an adult. You've seen me die. You saw me hit. You saw me -

Why is it that you can cry when I could not?

And what of Marius? Did he forgive me afterwards?

We are all there, you know? As I said to you... Just a breath away. Singing on our barricade... We'll be there when it is your turn, still.

[She sighs. He does not say it is okay. He does not forgive... It's no more than she deserves. She is the reason, after all, that he was to die.]

[To be fair, he wants to forgive. To give her the peace she most certainly deserves, and her sigh troubles him.]

You are happy there? [He hopes she is, truly he does. And her words give him comfort to say the least, to know that his friends are waiting for him.]

I am proud to be with them, your friends. I was there for you; I listened for you. And yet, still I am included in the number leading France to a brighter future.

[le_baron_pontmercy]

Good.

[He smiles faintly once more.] I cannot say I will hurry, but I will be with you all, one day, as you said.

[And he hesitates.] Why is it that you gave the letter to me, before you...? [Died.]

[makeflowersgrow]

Before I died?

[She shakes her head]

i hardly know, M'sieur. I knew... I could feel it. And I did not want you to be unhappy. And you were so sad. I hated that. It is why I pushed you away.
