Madame Mun,

I understand that you want to give me a second chance, but please Dieu, I do not wish to be 'adopted' as you put it. I can make my own way, and I will.

However, if you are to put me in this place, please do have this happen this month. I do not wish to wait around for another month.

Maybe the second chance will not be as bad as I fear.

Finally having some hope,
Fantine

With all the bad, there is still much good to be found. [ She may be naive but she does stand by this sentiment. She has seen the bad for herself and has risen above it. ]

A complicated concept! I am in a world of dreams with my love, among other people from Paris. [ Notably an obsessive Inspector and a cruel, sad girl who abused her when they were young. So far, she has seen people turn their lives around - except for Eponine, who, though safe, sits in jail. ] You may have a chance for a better outcome, Madame, in these "games."

One day, I might have believed that, however, life has killed that dream.

[She is thoughtful for a moment, then nods.]

I understand that there are many people there, from many different times and places. She believes that I will do well, there. I hope she is right.

You are from France, then? [Fantine pauses. Something is still niggling at her.]

[ Cosette nods happily. ]

Oui, Madame. And you are as well?

[ She's excited to reach this point in the conversation, wanting to know more about this woman, unable to quell the thought in her head, the small hope that she may be someone she knows. ]
